European Union ambassadors agreed Sunday to step up efforts to dissuade U.S. President Donald Trump from imposing tariffs on European allies, while preparing retaliation if duties proceed, diplomats said. Trump vowed on Saturday to impose escalating tariffs from February 1 on Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Britain, and Norway “until the U.S. is allowed to buy Greenland,” a move that major EU states condemned as blackmail. EU leaders will debate responses at an emergency Brussels summit on Thursday. Options include a tariff package on €93 billion of U.S. imports, set to activate February 6 after a six-month suspension, or deploying the never-used “Anti-Coercion Instrument” (ACI), which could restrict U.S. access to public tenders, investments, banking, or services trade, areas where Washington runs a surplus, notably in digital services.
