EU weighs sweeping retaliation against US Greenland tariffs

In response to Trump’s threat to slap tariffs on eight European countries over Greenland, the EU is weighing a major retaliation using the Anti-Coercion Instrument, potentially totaling about €93 billion. Germany remains cautious due to its export-heavy economy as markets slip and European stocks decline; Deutsche Bank notes Europe could have leverage. The issue sits alongside other headlines, including Powell’s Supreme Court appearance, Putin’s invitation to join Trump’s Board of Peace, and Trump’s Davos visit.

EU eyes anti-coercion tool as potential lever in US-Greenland tariff clash

It is viewed as a deterrent and has never been used. With President Trump threatening tariffs on Denmark over Greenland, the EU could opt to activate the ACI, potentially sparking a broader trade clash while aiming to defend EU interests and avoid breaking transatlantic ties.

The bloc could resort to the Anti-Coercion Instrument and other measures, and a vote previously scheduled for Jan. 26 is now in doubt as the dispute over Greenland’s sovereignty deepens.
