CURRENT EVENTS AND GEOPOLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN 2025
The Geopolitical landscape in 2025 is characterized by increasing volatility and fragmentation. Key trends include rising global economic uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, energy security concerns, climate risks, intensifying US- China competition, cyber threats, and evolving NATO- Russia dynamics. Together, these factors contribute to a complex and rapidly changing international environment. The 2025 geopolitical calendar includes several critical events that could impact global dynamics. In particular, conflicts in the Middle East are expected to increase security threats during the month of Ramadan, which begins on March 2, 2025. In addition, legislative, local, and regional elections in various countries could lead to changes in international relations and policies, further impacting the global geopolitical landscape.
GEOPOLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS & EVENTS IN 2025
U.S. MILITARY AID TO UKRAINE SUSPENDED
President Donald Trump has halted all U.S. military aid to Ukraine and called on President Volodymyr Zelensky to join peace talks with Russia. The decision has led the United States to halt intelligence sharing with Ukraine, affecting its ability to defend against Russian forces.
EU EMERGENCY SUMMIT
In response to the U.S. policy shift, European Union leaders are holding an emergency summit in Brussels to bolster their military defenses and continue support for Ukraine. German Chancellor-designate Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron are calling for increased defense spending and exploring innovative financing mechanisms. The European Commission has proposed an €800 billion defence plan to boost member states’ military capabilities.
FRANCE’S NUCLEAR UMBRELLA PROPOSAL
President Macron has proposed extending France’s nuclear deterrence to its European allies, suggesting that European military forces could play a role in implementing any future peace deal in Ukraine.
GREENLAND’S SOVEREIGNTY ASSERTED
Greenland Prime Minister Mute Borup Egede has flatly rejected President Trump’s comments about buying Greenland, arguing that the island’s residents are Greenlanders and will determine their future.
GERMANY’S INCREASED DEFENSE SPENDING
Germany has announced a massive increase in government and defense spending, including a €500 billion infrastructure program and plans to exempt defense spending from borrowing limits. The policy shift has led to a sell-off in global bond markets, with German 10-year bond yields hitting their highest level since 1990. The move reflects Germany’s commitment to strengthening its defense capabilities in light of current geopolitical tensions.
