"Germany and France agree: we will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed,"
"Blackmail between allies of 250 years, blackmail between friends, is obviously unacceptable,"
"We Europeans must make it clear: the limit has been reached,"
"France wants us to examine this possibility, hoping, of course, that deterrence will prevail,"
President Donald Trump vowed to implement a wave of increasing tariffs on imports from European allies until the United States is allowed to buy Greenland, intensifying a dispute over the future of Denmark's Arctic island. German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil and French Finance Minister Roland Lescure said Europe would not accept blackmail and called for a clear, united response to threatened tariff escalation. EU leaders will meet at an emergency summit to consider a €93 billion tariff package or deploy the unused Anti-Coercion Instrument to limit tenders, investments, banking activity or services. Ministers emphasized deterrence and favoured negotiation to avoid economic escalation.
