A striking message from Europe’s top diplomat is fuelling fresh debate on the future of NATO and transatlantic ties. Kaja Kallas openly questioned over-reliance on any single leader, warned against creating a separate EU army, and pointed to shifting trust levels between Americans and Europeans. Her remarks come as tensions simmer over Greenland, defence spending and NATO’s direction. With Arctic security, undersea infrastructure and global rules now in focus, Europe’s strategy appears to be evolving fast. Are these comments a reality check or a sign of a deeper split ahead?
