Iceland plans summer referendum on talks to join the European Union

European Union The European Union United States Iceland Donald Trump Greenland (Geopolitical Entity) Ukraine

Iceland's government has announced a referendum for 29 August on resuming talks to join the European Union.
This decision fast-tracks a previous commitment to hold such a vote by 2027, prompted by geopolitical unrest.
Renewed interest in EU membership stems from rising living costs, the war in Ukraine, and threats from US President Donald Trump concerning Greenland.
Iceland had previously halted EU membership negotiations in 2013 after four years of discussions.
Foreign Minister Katrin Gunnarsdottir confirmed the government's unanimous decision, with a second referendum planned should negotiations prove successful.
