US flag over Greenland: Trump publishes new image

Donald Trump doubled down on his bid to acquire Greenland on Tuesday morning, posting a digitally-generated picture of him putting a US flag in Greenland as Europeans struggle to agree on which potential measures to use in retaliation, Euronews writes.

The US President posted the image on his Truth Social platform where he also said that he has agreed “to a meeting of the various parties in Davos” on the topic during a conversation with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

European leaders have meanwhile agreed to convene in Brussels on Thursday evening for an extraordinary summit where they will hope to nail down a common position on the way to proceed should Trump follow through on this plan to impose an additional 10% tariffs on eight European countries on Feb. 1.

Statements from the bloc’s leaders and ministers on Monday showed capitals are divided on whether to trigger the EU’s trade bazooka, known officially as the Anti-Coercion Instrument, in retaliation.
