Trade war or diplomacy? How will Europe deal with Trump’s tariff threat over Greenland?
Donald Trump announced new tariffs on eight European nations, starting at 10 percent and rising to 25 percent, to pressure Denmark into selling Greenland to the US. European leaders condemned the tariffs, expressed solidarity with Denmark and Greenland, and are considering retaliatory measures including economic sanctions. Europe may use its Anti-Coercion Instrument and previously delayed tariffs against the US, while also seeking diplomatic solutions before the tariffs take effect on February 1.
