Tensions are escalating between the European Union and the United States as President Trump dangles the possibility of tariffs in retaliation against countries like Denmark that support its sovereignty claims over Greenland. Scheduled to hold an emergency summit, EU leaders are weighing their options against the backdrop of Trump's threats, which some fear could lead to a full-blown trade war. French President Emmanuel Macron has pushed for the EU to utilize its Anti-Coercion Instrument, designed to counteract foreign interference, bringing a level of irony since it was originally crafted with China in mind, not the US. However, reactions vary among EU leaders, as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expresses concerns regarding miscommunication over troop deployments in Greenland. With varying stances within the EU, the path forward remains uncertain as Trump continues to exert pressure, leaving European unity at a critical juncture.
