"But US president's threats towards Europe have left a mark, and are sure to feature prominently in talks"
"EU leaders are gathering in Brussels for what was supposed to be a crisis meeting and an opportunity to forge a united front against Donald Trump's threats to slap tariffs on countries that stood in the way of his Greenland ambitions."
"But the whole context for the emergency summit changed at the 11th hour when, instead of a showdown, they got a climbdown from the US president."
EU leaders gathered in Brussels for a crisis meeting aimed at forging a united front against Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on countries that opposed his Greenland ambitions. The summit was intended to coordinate collective action and respond to potential US economic pressure. At the 11th hour the US president issued a last-minute climbdown, averting the expected showdown. The earlier threats nevertheless left a political and diplomatic mark on EU capitals and are likely to feature prominently in summit deliberations and future transatlantic relations.
