The European Union is holding an emergency meeting to discuss US President Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on European countries unless they allow the US to buy Greenland.
Trump announced 10% tariffs on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and the UK, effective February 1, with a potential increase to 25% by June 1.
European leaders have condemned the move, labeling it "unacceptable" and vowing a coordinated response.
The EU is considering retaliatory measures, including summoning ambassadors and imposing tariffs on US goods. The move has sparked concerns about a potential disruption in US-Europe relations and the long-term impact on their friendship. The situation is being closely watched, as it may have significant implications for global trade and Arctic security.
