Europe responds to Trump’s Greenland and tariff threats, EU chief states

European leaders have responded strongly to U.S. President Trump’s announcement of sanctions against nations deploying military forces to Greenland, as he seeks to acquire the territory. Trump plans to impose a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, and Finland, increasing to 25% by June, until the U.S. can purchase Greenland. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized unity among EU members against such tariffs, warning they could harm transatlantic relations. National leaders echoed this sentiment, asserting Greenland’s future lies with Denmark and its people, not U.S. pressure.
