EU leaders hold an emergency summit in Brussels to respond to Trump's Greenland tariff threats with possible €93 billion retaliatory tariffs and increased Arctic security measures.
- European Union leaders will discuss response options, including a €93 billion tariff package and the Anti-Coercion Instrument, at an emergency summit in Brussels on Thursday.
- President Donald Trump announced starting February 1 the U.S. would impose 10 tariffs on goods from EU members Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, as well as non-EU states Norway and Britain, and threatened to raise them to 25 from June 1 unless Greenland is purchased.
- EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said Europe has no interest in picking a fight and `Sovereignty is not for trade`, while Denmark's Lars Lokke Rasmussen added, `We are living in 2026, you can trade with people, but you don't trade people`.
- Analysts say retaliatory tariffs could spark a trade war and hurt Europe, while German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned, `But if we are confronted with tariffs that we consider unreasonable, then we are capable of responding.`
- One option could automatically kick in on February 6 after a six-month suspension: tariffs covering 93 billion euros, while Penny Naas said deploying the ACI will depend on February 1 developments.
