US President Donald Trump linked his drive to take control of Greenland to his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize, saying he no longer thought “purely of peace” as the row over the island on Monday threatened to reignite a trade war with Europe.Trump has intensified his push to wrest sovereignty over Greenland from fellow NATO member Denmark, threatening punitive tariffs on countries which stand in his way and prompting the EU to weigh hitting back with its own measures.It has also plunged trade relations between the EU and the US, the bloc’s biggest export market, into renewed uncertainty after the two sides painstakingly reached a trade deal last year in response to Trump’s swingeing tariffs.The Norwegian Nobel Committee annoyed Trump by awarding the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize not to him but to Venezuelan Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. EU leaders will discuss options at an emergency summit in Brussels on Thursday. One option is a package of tariffs on 93 billion euros ($108 billion) of US imports that could automatically kick in on February 6 after a six-month suspension. Another option is the “Anti-Coercion Instrument”, which has never yet been used and which could limit access to public tenders, investments or banking activity.British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday said the UK and the US remained close allies and that a trade war was in no one’s interest amid mounting pressure from President Trump’s tariff threats over his pursuit of Greenland.
