EU calls emergency envoys meeting for Sunday after Trump vows tariffs linked to Greenland
EU ambassadors convened an emergency meeting to plan a unified response against tariffs targeting eight countries, with retaliatory measures valued at up to €93 billion under consideration.
- In a Saturday post, Trump declared he will impose 10% tariffs on eight European countries starting February 1, until a Greenland purchase deal is reached, with potential rise to 25% on June 1.
- European deployments to Greenland, including a recent joint mission, prompted the White House reaction and tariffs, while Danish officials defended Arctic security talks with U.S. counterparts earlier this week.
- EU leaders convened emergency talks as Ursula von der Leyen warned tariffs risk a "dangerous downward spiral" and António Costa pledged to "stand firm in defending international law."
- Thousands protested in Denmark and Greenland, chanting `Hands off Greenland` and marching toward the US embassy, while Emmanuel Macron, French President, said `Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context`.
- Parliament urged use of the anti‑coercion instrument as EU Parliament calls to suspend parts of the EU‑US tariff deal, warning the dispute could trigger a new trade war.
