Trump threatens tariffs to pressure Europe over Greenland, sparking EU crisis meeting

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on European goods in an effort to pressure European countries over the status of Greenland. The move has been described by some European officials as "blackmail" and "gangster" tactics.

The threats prompted an emergency meeting of EU ambassadors, with European nations uniting to formulate a response. There are calls for unprecedented EU counter-measures, and a senior analyst warned that a U.S. takeover of Greenland could severely damage the NATO alliance.
