The European Union faced calls on Jan 18 to implement a never-before-used range of economic countermeasures known as the “Anti-Coercion Instrument” as part of the bloc’s response to US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats against European allies over Greenland.

Mr Trump on Jan 17 vowed to implement a wave of increasing tariffs on EU members Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland, along with Britain and Norway, until the US is allowed to buy Greenland, escalating a row over the future of Denmark’s vast Arctic island.
