Upon reflection, what was Europe going to do?
Europe couldn't risk the US pulling out of NATO. It would collapse. Trump added some rhetoric about maybe having to take Greenland by force, just to add a little pressure. Then he eased up on the latter and focused on emphasizing what would happen to Europe if the US pulled out. Unlike some European leaders, the NATO Sec. General immediately recognized that they needed to negotiate with Trump and told the Euro leaders that there was an impending deal that they couldn't refuse. Again, the foreign policy fundamentalists, think tank blowhards, academics, and apparatchiks fail to understand every time he does something like this is that the free world has no choice. We have the leverage. We can make them do almost anything. They're screwed if we pull out of defense alliances or put big tariffs on them. That all might seem crass, unseemly, arrogant, whatever, but it's the reality. They have no choice. Trump knows that and uses that to arrange deals for the US.
Nice usage of the word apparatchik.
I wonder if they know that Denmark has a king.

Yes, the constant hypocrisy of the EU, they can't get out of their own way.
They forget about WW1, WW2, and the Cold War and who has propped them up ever since.
They are like American liberals in the sense that they have no sense of personal irony.
They truly believe they have the moral high ground while sucking off the teet of the U.S. and judging and wanting to control those who actually produce.
Yep. It's like showing up and taunting law enforcement with no sense of the danger.

Wait, we were told that nothing had changed by the experts.
The liberals are finally going to doom Canada.
“…finally doom Canada”? What does that mean?
