US President Donald Trump signaled plans to impose tariffs on the European Union, accusing it of treating the US “terribly.” The EU warned of a strong response, emphasizing that tariffs harm all parties. Trump previously imposed tariffs on European steel and aluminum in 2018, sparking a trade war. EU leaders will discuss the threat in Brussels. The President’s remarks follow recent tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada. Meanwhile, tensions persist over Trump’s push to acquire Greenland, which Denmark rejected. The EU insists on maintaining a rules-based trade system while preparing for potential economic conflict.
