AI Summary

long article 8 min

Following Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on European countries linked to a NATO exercise on Greenland, EU ambassadors convened an emergency meeting in Brussels on Sunday. Trump's threat involves a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and Great Britain, effective February 1st. The Dutch foreign minister called Trump's actions "blackmail," while a German association called for an "anti-coercion" response. A French minister stated that the US also stands to lose from the tariffs and deemed any US takeover of Greenland "unacceptable." The EU is considering its response, acknowledging the potential for a damaging escalation.
