Trump's USA  NATO's future
Analyst: Trump's threat about NATO is like a divorce

Donald Trump's threat to leave NATO is putting the alliance to the test, writes the Wall Street Journal. The American president has been furious that other NATO countries are not joining the US war in Iran, but according to the newspaper's American sources, he has not made any decision about the US future in NATO.

Optimistic Europeans interpret this as Trump wanting to push for European help, but French defense analyst François Heisbourg is not as convinced. Trust has been lost, he says.

Election in Denmark
Crisis in the Danish right-wing party grows: "So many red flags"

The storm continues around the Citizens' Party in Denmark. After a quick expulsion immediately after the election, a second member has now chosen to leave the party, reports Danmarks Radio.

Emilie Schytte, elected to the Folketing for the first time, criticizes party leader Lars Boje Mathiesen and the culture she believes prevails in the party in a post on social media. She believes that the party is top-down and calls it a “pyramid game of hypocrisy and power perfection.”

“There are so many ‘red flags’ that it doesn’t fit in a single post.”

Morten Dehn is also considering leaving.

“I believe in Lars, I believe in the process, but things are changing quickly right now,” he says, according to TV2.

The Citizens’ Party won four of 179 seats in the election.

Election in Hungary
Orbán raises sabotage alarms – accused of “false flag”

Serbian authorities have found explosive objects not far from the gas pipeline that supplies Serbia and Hungary with Russian gas, says President Aleksandar Vucic, according to AFP.

Vucic has notified Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who writes in a post on X that it involves “powerful” explosives. His main rival, opposition candidate Péter Magyar, however, believes that it is a so-called “false flag” aimed at giving Orbán advantages in the election next weekend.

“Several people have publicly suggested that something ‘accidentally’ would happen to the gas pipeline at Easter, a week before the Hungarian election. And so it happened,” he writes on X.

According to the BBC, Hungarian security experts have warned of such an incident, either on Hungarian or Serbian soil.

Public support for Orbán’s Fidesz party is falling and a large part of the election campaign has focused on Ukraine. Orbán has not singled out Ukraine directly in the specific case but claims that the country has been “trying to cut off Europe from Russian energy” for several years.
