Western alliance hangs in balance as Europe stiffens itself against Trump’s threats
AI Summary
The article discusses the potential strain on the Western alliance due to Donald Trump's threat to impose 10% tariffs on eight NATO countries for supporting Greenland's sovereignty. This action has been widely condemned by European leaders, including those traditionally close to Trump, who view it as blackmail and intimidation. Denmark, at the center of the dispute, has vowed to never cede Greenland and hopes for allied support. While the targeted nations haven't threatened immediate retaliation, they warn of a dangerous trade war. France is considering activating the EU's anti-coercion instrument and questioning the EU-US tariff agreement. The UK's post-Brexit trade deal with the US is now uncertain, potentially weakening the UK's position.
