Gotta hand it to him, it's pretty bold: 20 yo Dutch man was caught trying to smuggle 50kg of ecstasy into Ibiza. His two suitcases were filled to the brim with 163,000 pills, covered only by the zip-up partition. https://t.co/uOqsEJc3vw

In Europe, most young terrorist suspect are radical Islamists. In the U.S., the problem is mostly with right-wing extremists. One expert told me that, similar to how ISIS' caliphate was a main exporter of jihadism, the U.S. has become a main exporters of far-right ideology

Terrorists in Europe are becoming younger and harder to find. My story about how the process of radicalization - of religious as well as right wing extremists - has sped up, and mostly happens at home, online. https://t.co/osAhqIRAWa

In Sweden, criminal gangs are using the country's free-choice system to plant students in specific schools to avoid rival gangs and tighten their grip on certain districts, according to report by SVT https://t.co/nHM4SaA3hX

“The Nordic countries have a unified security policy for the first time since the Kalmar Union in the 1400s,” @jensstoltenberg told me. My story about how the Nordics have pooled their resources to confront Russia, leading the way for European defense https://t.co/SrLzKlhSrJ

For a long time, the Nordics were known for peace efforts and cozy living. Now they are shedding that persona. Amid Russian aggression and unsure security guarantees from Trump, the Nordics have emerged as a model for Europe’s defense. My story: https://t.co/BwEmFjszgT

I love this story about how Trump specifically asked for a painting of James Polk, the 11th president who oversaw the largest territorial expansion of the US, to hang in the Oval Office. By colleagues @jdawsey1 @VeraMBergen @alexbward https://t.co/DuXLj6kV6C

It is unclear what Trump wants w Greenland. A 1951 treaty w Denmark already allows him to beef up US military presence if he wants to. US companies can mine Greenland's minerals but investors won't pay for it. Greenland's worry is that he wants territory, just for the sake of it

It was spun as a feel-good trip to "celebrate Greenlandic culture", but in Greenland, it was met with fury. In Denmark, the PM dialled up her usually diplomatic rhetoric and is now in a full-on spat with the Trump administration. Our story: https://t.co/3isCWCxEAV

The US delegation to Greenland will no longer attend a dogsled race and "celebrate Greenlandic culture", but only visit American soldiers on the Pituffik base (far away from potentially angry Greenlandic civilians). Clear retreat after Greenlandic and Danish pushback
