格陵兰岛风波掀起“美欧关税战”？欧盟：“930亿反制关税”已在路上

Core Viewpoint - The European Union (EU) is preparing to respond to U.S. President Trump's recent tariff threats regarding Greenland, with discussions on potential countermeasures underway among member states [1][2]. Group 1: EU's Response to U.S. Tariff Threats - EU representatives reached a consensus to discourage Trump's tariff imposition on European allies and are preparing retaliatory measures if tariffs are enacted [1]. - The EU is considering imposing tariffs on U.S. goods valued at €93 billion (approximately $107.7 billion) or restricting U.S. companies' access to the EU market as a counteraction to the proposed tariffs [2]. - A joint statement from eight European countries condemned the U.S. tariff threats, indicating that such actions could damage transatlantic relations and lead to a dangerous cycle of retaliation [2]. Group 2: Details of Proposed Tariffs - Trump announced that starting February 1, 2026, a 10% tariff will be imposed on all goods exported from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland to the U.S., increasing to 25% on June 1, 2026 [2]. - The tariffs are a response to these countries' opposition to U.S. control over Greenland, with Trump stating that the tariffs will remain until an agreement for the "complete and total purchase of Greenland" is reached [2]. Group 3: EU's Strategic Options - The EU is considering two main options: retaliatory tariffs or the use of an unprecedented "anti-coercion instrument" (ACI) [3]. - The ACI could impose restrictions on public tenders, investments, or banking activities, particularly affecting U.S. services where the U.S. has a trade surplus with the EU [3]. - There is broader support for the tariff option as a first line of defense, while opinions on the ACI are more complex [3].
