France's President Emmanuel Macron has asked the European Union to activate its powerful ‘anti-coercion instrument’ if the United States imposes tariffs in the standoff over Greenland.⁣
⁣
The bloc's weapon, never used before and dubbed its trade bazooka, allows for curbing imports of goods and services, and has been invoked as a way to push back over tech and trade.⁣
⁣
Trump has said he would put rising tariffs from February 1 on goods imported from EU members Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland, along with Britain and Norway, until the US is allowed to buy Greenland, a step major EU states decried as blackmail.⁣
