Summary:
European Union leaders warned of a "dangerous downward spiral" following US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose increasing tariffs on European allies unless the US is permitted to purchase Greenland. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Council President Antonio Costa stated that tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and emphasized Europe's commitment to sovereignty. EU diplomat Kaja Kallas said that tariffs would harm prosperity on both sides and distract from efforts to address Russia’s war in Ukraine, noting that divisions benefit China and Russia. The EU's 27 member countries planned an emergency meeting to discuss their response to the tariff threat.
