The EU will hold an emergency summit to address Trump's "island seizure" tariffs European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill stated on the 19th that the EU will hold an emergency summit in Brussels, Belgium on the 22nd to discuss issues such as US President Trump's announcement to impose tariffs on European countries opposing US acquisition of Greenland, and to evaluate possible countermeasures that the EU may take. Gill said that in response to Trump's tariff threat, contacts and communication between the EU and the US are still ongoing at "various levels". The EU is also conducting intensive consultations with member states on possible response measures. The EU will make every necessary effort to safeguard its own interests. Gill stated that the EU's top priority is "engagement rather than escalation". But he said that if the United States implements the aforementioned tariffs, the EU has the tools at its disposal and is prepared to respond. Xinhua News Agency
