EU Leaders Race to Avert US Friction Under Trump and Prevent ‘Stupid Tariff War’

European Union leaders are deliberating on how to address U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of tariffs and military actions related to Greenland, which may provoke a trade war. Trump's administration has previously enforced tariffs on European steel and aluminum, escalating tensions between the U.S. and the EU. EU leaders, such as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron, stress the importance of unity and a strong reaction to U.S. threats. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas remarked that trade wars yield no winners, underscoring the dangers of discord among allies.
