Tensions between the two sides of the Atlantic have reached a critical point. In response to President Donald Trump's recent threats to NATO allies and increased pressure over the Greenland issue, the European Union is preparing an unprecedented financial response.
According to an exclusive report by the prestigious Financial Times, which cites multiple diplomatic sources, European capitals have a drastic plan on the table: imposing tariffs on the United States worth a total of 93 billion euros.
The timing of this leak is not coincidental. Officials involved in drafting the measures confirm that this plan is designed to give European leaders "heavy ammunition" and a negotiating advantage ahead of their face-to-face meetings with the US President at the World Economic Forum in Davos, which begins this week.
"The aim is to strengthen the position of European leaders. We cannot go to Davos just to hear threats, we need to show that we have the capacity to respond in kind," the sources told the Financial Times.
American giants are at risk
In addition to direct tariffs on goods, the EU plan envisages an even more aggressive measure: restricting access for American companies to the European single market. This move would directly hit major US technology and industrial corporations, giving the conflict the dimensions of a full-blown economic war.
The clash comes after Trump's repeated statements on NATO spending and, specifically, new tensions related to Greenland - a strategic territory that has been the object of American geopolitical desires, causing irritation in Denmark and across the EU.
