As U.S. President Donald Trump continues to justify his ambitions to take over Greenland, the European Union has been looking to retaliate with what is known as a 'trade bazooka.' Ahn Sung-jin has the details. U.S. President Donald Trump has affirmed that he will act on Greenland. In a post on Truth Social on Sunday local time, Trump stated that Denmark has been "unable to get the Russian threat away from Greenland" and that "now it is time, and it will be done." This is being regarded as an attempt to justify U.S. efforts to annex Greenland, arguing that Denmark has failed to prevent Russian threats in Danish territory.

As Trump's ambition to pursue a U.S. takeover of Greenland intensifies, calls are growing within the European Union to activate the bloc's Anti-Coercion Instrument, also known as ACI. Often referred to as a "trade bazooka," the ACI allows the EU to restrict trade in services, FDI, financial markets, and other sectors against third countries that economically threaten the EU or its member states. According to the BBC and AFP, French President Emmanuel Macron has been in contact with European leaders to formally push for its activation, while the chair of the European Parliament's trade committee has also called for it to be used. Since its introduction in 2023, it has never been used.

"The ACI could be very effective, but what the EU really needs for the ACI it requires unity, it requires all the EU member states to stand together in solidarity " The media has also reported that multiple EU countries are reviewing retaliatory tariffs. This comes as Trump on Saturday threatened Europe with new tariffs. He announced that he would impose a 10 percent tariff starting next month on eight countries, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and France, which oppose "his efforts to secure Greenland," which has further prompted a widespread backlash across Europe. Later this week, European leaders will meet at an emergency summit as the EU ramps up preparations for a possible trade dispute with the United States over Greenland. Ahn Sung-jin, Arirang News.
