US EditionTrumps Escalates His Greenland Push.
Macron called for the EU to activate its Anti-Coercion Instrument to counter escalating U.S. tariffs threatening €93 billion in goods, asserting Europe must defend sovereignty and rule of law.
- On Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron at the World Economic Forum in Davos said Europe would not give in to bullies, urging the EU to use its Anti‑Coercion Instrument as U.S. President Donald Trump vowed tariffs from Feb. 1.
- Pushed by plans to wrest Greenland from Denmark, Donald Trump, U.S. President, used public and private pressure including posts on Truth Social and vowed tariffs from Feb. 1 on France, straining ties.
- Deploying the Anti‑Coercion Instrument would allow the EU to limit imports and bar access to public markets, with Macron saying `Europe now has very strong tools and we must use them when we are not respected and when the rules of the game are not respected`.
- After Macron's Davos speech, European Union leaders agreed to meet in Brussels on Thursday for an emergency summit, and Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President, pledged an "unflinching" response.
- Macron framed the row as a defence of rules-based order and national sovereignty, saying `France and Europe are committed to national sovereignty and independence, and to the United Nations and its charter`, while Trump proposed a rival 'Peace Council' with a $1 billion entry fee.
