Threats from the White House over Greenland have triggered outrage and urgent diplomacy across Europe, with leaders weighing countermeasures such as retaliatory tariffs and the possible first-ever use of the EU’s anti-coercion instrument. President Donald Trump announced a planned 10% import tax on goods from eight European countries, citing their opposition to US control of Greenland.
The tariff would target Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, rising to 25% by June if no deal is reached. European leaders swiftly condemned the move as economic coercion and convened an emergency meeting in Brussels.
