EU, UK Reject Trump's Greenland Tariffs: 'Will Not Be Blackmailed'

• The EU and UK condemned Donald Trump's 10% tariffs on European countries for opposing his threats to acquire Greenland, stating they "will not be blackmailed."
• Trump announced a 10% tariff from February on eight European countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Finland), threatening to raise it to 25% by June 1 if a deal for Greenland's purchase isn't reached.
• European leaders, including Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Ulf Kristersson, denounced the tariffs as "unacceptable" and emphasized defending European sovereignty.
• Greenland welcomed the European response, with thousands protesting Trump's remarks, chanting "Greenland is not for sale" and supporting self-governance.
• EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned that tariffs would harm transatlantic prosperity and benefit China and Russia by creating divisions among allies.

Why It Matters: EU and UK firmly reject Trump's Greenland-related tariffs, emphasizing sovereignty and transatlantic unity.
