Hey folks! This Thursday (Jan 22), EU leaders are hitting red alert 🚨 to tackle new US threats around Greenland. President Trump warned tariffs on any country standing in the way of his plan to 'acquire' Greenland.
The emergency meeting will weigh possible countermeasures. European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill says the EU is engaging at all levels with Washington and is not ruling out the anti-coercion instrument—a legal tool designed to shield the bloc from economic pressure.
For now, the EU prefers dialogue over drama 🤝 but is ready to hit back with its own tariffs if needed. The goal is clear: protect the bloc's economic interests and keep trade flowing smoothly—from the chip factories powering your smartphones to the sneakers on your feet.
Stay tuned as this global power play unfolds—decisions made in Brussels could ripple all the way to your mobile screens and online carts 😉.
