European Council President Antonio Costa said on Monday he had decided to call an extraordinary summit of European Union (EU) leaders in the coming days to discuss the bloc's response to US President Donald Trump's promise to impose a wave of escalating tariffs on European allies until the United States is allowed to buy Greenland, Reuters reported.
Košta, who chairs EU summits, said in a post on social media that his consultations with EU members showed a strong commitment to supporting Denmark and Greenland and a willingness to defend against any form of coercion, while continuing constructive engagement with the US.
An EU official said the summit would likely be held live on Thursday, according to Reuters.
