European Council President Antonio Costa has called for an extraordinary summit of EU leaders to address President Donald Trump's recent tariff threats. The tariffs are meant to pressure the EU until the United States can purchase Greenland.

Costa revealed on social media that EU countries are adamantly backing Denmark and Greenland, ready to fend off any coercive actions while remaining open to constructive dialogue with Washington.

The gathering, an EU official disclosed, is expected to occur in-person this Thursday, highlighting the urgency and gravity of the situation.
