EU Suspends US Trade Deal Amid Tensions Over Greenland and Tariff Threats

European Union leaders have expressed strong opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, and his threats to impose tariffs on European countries opposing the plan. EU officials, including Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, emphasize preference for dialogue but affirm readiness to act decisively if necessary. In response, the European Parliament has suspended work on a key EU-U.S. trade agreement, while discussions continue on potential countermeasures such as the Anti-Coercion Instrument. The dispute highlights growing tensions in transatlantic relations and concerns over sovereignty and international law.
