EU Emergency Summit to Proceed Despite Trump's Retreat

Despite Donald Trump's withdrawal of the threat to impose tariffs on European countries over the Greenland issue, the emergency EU summit will proceed as planned on Thursday. Trump announced he was withdrawing the threat after reaching an agreement with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte regarding the future of Greenland and the Arctic. The agreement, according to Trump, will be “excellent” for the US and NATO member states. The EU summit had been scheduled to discuss the potential economic impact of the tariffs.
