US EditionEU leaders gather to chart a new course for transatlantic ties after Trump threats over Greenland
EU leaders convened to address US threats over Greenland, affirm sovereignty, and consider NATO’s Arctic role amid tensions with Washington, aiming to protect transatlantic unity.
- On Thursday, European leaders convened an emergency summit in Brussels to reassess ties after President Donald Trump's Davos remarks on Greenland and tariffs, following his suspension of tariffs and pledge not to use force.
- At Davos, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte led talks that reportedly pulled Trump back from demands for Greenland ownership, including mineral rights and land transfers.
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters sovereignty cannot be negotiated away, emphasizing openness to pact talks, while Greenlandic MPs and protesters insisted NATO lacks mandate without Greenland and Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said he did not know what was agreed.
- The summit produced no decisions, and leaders warned the dispute could flare up again, with Costa stating `The goal remains the effective stability of the trade relations`,
- The Commission plans to double Greenland support in the 2028 EU budget, prioritising Arctic investments, while leaders said the EU must strengthen resilience and increase defence spending.
