US President Donald Trump's threat to impose new tariffs on eight European allies due to their opposition to his proposed acquisition of Greenland has drawn strong condemnation from European leaders. This move has escalated tensions, prompting an emergency EU meeting and widespread protests.

• Trump announced a 10% tariff on goods from countries including Denmark, France, and the UK, effective February 1, potentially rising to 25%.
• UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the tariffs "completely wrong," while French President Emmanuel Macron deemed them "unacceptable."
• Thousands protested in Greenland and Denmark against the proposed US takeover, with polls suggesting 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the US.
