Greenland as the trigger of a new trade war
Rising tensions over Greenland risk reviving an EU-US trade conflict, with Washington once again using tariffs as a tool of political pressure. Germany appears most exposed to the potential economic fallout, while cohesion within the EU remains uncertain.
