The European Union is preparing to hit major American technology companies and banks with sanctions if Donald Trump refuses to back down from his Greenland ambitions, according to reports. Brussels could restrict Google, Microsoft, Meta, X and US financial institutions operating across the 27-member bloc in what would mark an extraordinary rupture between the Western allies.
The sanctions blueprint is being developed as a contingency plan, intended for use only if Trump rejects a proposed NATO deployment to Greenland and continues pursuing the autonomous Arctic territory.
