European leaders have reacted with outrage to President Trump's threat to impose tariffs on them if they oppose his attempt to buy Greenland. They describe the ultimatum as 'completely wrong' and 'unacceptable', emphasizing the importance of maintaining sovereignty and territorial integrity. The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland, and is committed to further dialogue. However, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussens expressed surprise at the tariffs threat, following a constructive meeting with U.S. officials. European countries stand united, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb called for cool heads and further talks, warning that tariffs would be damaging and undermine the transatlantic relationship. Greenland itself has repeatedly rejected Trump's advances, and while a majority of its population would like independence from Denmark, most Greenlanders would not like to become a part of the U.S. Protests were held in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on Saturday, with demonstrators holding placards reiterating the position of the island's leadership, and that of Denmark, that 'Greenland is not for sale'. The EU has called an emergency meeting to discuss the situation.
