Greenland Tensions: Expert Warns Europe Must Be Ready to 'Respond in Kind' to US Tariffs

Professor Scott Lucas, an expert in International Politics at the Clinton Institute at the University of Dublin, has issued a stark warning to Europe regarding potential US actions over Greenland. Speaking on FRANCE 24, Lucas emphasized that European nations 'must be ready to respond in kind' should the United States move forward with threats of punitive tariffs.

The potential tariffs target eight European countries that have voiced opposition to the US's plans regarding the acquisition or influence over Greenland. This warning underscores growing tensions and the possibility of a significant transatlantic trade dispute stemming from geopolitical ambitions.

Lucas's comments highlight the delicate balance of international relations and the need for European preparedness in the face of assertive foreign policy from the United States.
