EU Ambassadors To Hold Emergency Talks After Trump Threatens Tariffs Over Greenland.

todayJanuary 18, 2026

Background

EU ambassadors will hold an emergency meeting later today after Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on allies who are against his proposed takeover of Greenland

Trump says he plans to raise import taxes on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland

A 10% tariff would apply from 1 February, and could later rise to 25%, the US president says

UK PM Keir Starmer says Trump’s threat is “completely wrong”, while French President Emmanuel Macron calls it “unacceptable”

Trump insists the US must own Greenland for US security and has not ruled out taking it by force
