European leaders are meeting in Germany to discuss energy cooperation and security in the North Sea, addressing Russian threats and American ambitions in Greenland.

On Monday, European leaders will meet in Hamburg, Germany, to discuss cooperation in the energy sector and security in the North Sea. Although the future of Greenland is not on the official agenda, the topic is expected to be addressed, considering the presence of Denmark and Norway. The summit, organized in the context of the war in Ukraine, aims to reduce Europe's energy dependence on Russia. Participants, including prime ministers from several European countries, will discuss the development of offshore energy and the challenges facing the sector, such as the lack of investments and hybrid threats from Russia. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasizes the importance of the North Sea as a reservoir of clean energy, with ambitious goals for wind energy capacity by 2050. There will also be discussions on the security of energy infrastructure, considering hybrid attacks and challenges related to dependence on rare resources from China.
