Europe on Thin Ice: Leaders Dust Off Their Weapons Against Trump

Donald Trump's potential acquisition of Greenland has raised concerns in Europe, with leaders 'dusting off' their 'weapons' for possible countermeasures. Greece, according to a government source, maintains a clear position and aligns with the European side, emphasizing that the future of Greenland depends on Denmark and its inhabitants. Athens does not desire conflict but is preparing for potential developments. Europe is considering activating the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) and older tariff retaliations, worth 93 billion euros. Simultaneously, Greece is monitoring the issue of the Peace Council, which is considered complex and requires delicate handling.
