EU Leaders to Hold Emergency Summit Amid Possibility of US Tariffs

European Union leaders will hold an emergency summit in Belgium on 22 January after United States President Donald Trump stated he would impose a 10 percent tariff on eight EU members. The tariffs, effective 01 February, come amid increasing tensions between the US and EU regarding Greenland. The affected countries include those that have sent a small number of military personnel to Greenland over the past week. The EU members are expected to discuss options to counter the US tariffs, including retaliatory tariffs. The situation could lead to uncertainty over tariffs and disruptions to trade among the impacted countries.
