EU Leaders to Hold Emergency Summit on Trump Tariffs and Greenland

The President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, is convening an emergency summit of EU leaders on January 22, 2026, to discuss transatlantic relations, following the announcement by Donald Trump to impose additional tariffs on European exports unless the US is allowed to purchase Greenland. The summit will be held in Brussels and is expected to be a lengthy session. The Prime Minister of Greenland stated that he will not succumb to the pressure and threats from Trump, emphasizing that Greenland is a democratic society with the right to make its own decisions and supports dialogue, respect, and international law.
