The powerful shifts shaking the geopolitical order, from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the trade war unleashed by Donald Trump, will influence Iceland's plan to hold a referendum on EU accession by 2027, Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir has said while stressing the need to have a "balanced" discussion about the crucial decision.
"Before 2027, we want to see if the nation wants to reopen these (accession) negotiations. And I'm sure the current geopolitical situation will affect it," Frostadóttir told Euronews during an official visit to Brussels on Wednesday.
