Trade War or Diplomacy? How Will Europe Deal with Trump’s Tariff Threat over Greenland?
The EU plans retaliatory tariffs worth €93 billion and may activate its Anti-Coercion Instrument in response to US tariffs aimed at pressuring a Greenland purchase.
- On January 17, U.S. President Donald Trump announced 10% tariffs on eight European countries starting February 1, rising to 25% on June 1 if no Greenland deal is reached.
- Trump renewed his Greenland bid, explaining its critical raw materials and U.S. military radar/early-warning coverage justify national security and tariff corrections.
- An emergency EU meeting on Sunday prompted calls to activate the European Union Anti‑Coercion Instrument, with Reuters reporting 93 billion in retaliatory tariffs; experts warn of economic and legal impacts.
- European officials warned that the tariffs risk undermining transatlantic relations, while leaders of the eight targeted NATO/EU countries pledged full solidarity with Denmark and Greenland and noted the EU single market rerouting before February 1.
- Analysts say the dispute risks longer‑term damage to U.S. credibility and security ties as U.S. companies and investors may delay hiring amid tariff uncertainty and the Supreme Court ruling on emergency powers could overturn measures.
