Trump’s Greenland Threats Spark EU ‘Extraordinary Meeting’
EU leaders convene in Brussels to counter Trump’s 10% tariffs on eight NATO allies amid his push to buy Greenland.
On 19 Jan 2026, US President Donald Trump announced a 10 % tariff on goods from eight NATO allies—Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland—effective 1 Feb, rising to 25 % on 1 Jun. The tariffs target nations that sent troops for Denmark‑led Operation Arctic Endurance in Greenland. European Council President Antonio Costa called for an “extraordinary meeting” of all 27 EU heads to defend Arctic security and international law, and to reaffirm solidarity with Denmark. The summit will be held in‑person in Brussels, with EU leaders warning that the tariffs could trigger a new transatlantic trade war.
