What steps will the EU take against Trump’s Greenland pressure?

0 January 24, 2026 00:25

After threatening tariffs against countries opposing U.S. control of Greenland, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly backed down following high-level talks with NATO leaders on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

This has happened against a backdrop of a far tougher tone by the EU towards Trump’s pressure tactics. What is the latest on Trump’s goal for the U.S. to own Greenland? What steps is the EU prepared to take in the event of more pressure? And are we witnessing a shift in how Europe deals with Trump and the United States?
