EU Pauses US Trade Pact Amid Trump's Greenland-Linked Tariffs

• The EU has halted negotiations on a trade deal with the US after President Trump linked new tariffs on European countries to his push to acquire Greenland.
• Trump announced additional 10% tariffs on European nations that deployed troops to Greenland, threatening to raise them to 25% until Greenland is purchased.
• European leaders, including Antonio Costa and Ursula von der Leyen, condemned the tariffs, emphasizing solidarity with Denmark and warning of damage to transatlantic ties.
• The European Parliament moved to halt ratification of the trade deal, with MEPs like Manfred Weber and Siegfried Murean stating approval is not possible under current circumstances.
• Calls for retaliation are growing, with Karin Karlsbro suggesting the EU prepare to use measures like the Anti-Coercion Instrument against US tariff attacks.

Why It Matters: The EU has paused trade talks with the US due to Trump's tariffs linked to his Greenland acquisition demands.
