On Saturday night, President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on eight European countries including the UK and Norway opposed to his bid to take control of Greenland, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. The threat, later dropped on Wednesday after a conversation between Trump and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, sparked discussion in the EU over the possibility of using one of its strictest trade measures, the anti-coercion instrument.
