Brussels: The Cyprus EU Presidency has convened an extraordinary meeting of the European Union's Permanent Representatives on Sunday afternoon in Brussels, calling in ambassadors from all 27 member states for urgent consultations. The meeting aims to address the recent comments made by US President Donald Trump regarding new tariffs on European allies.
According to Cyprus News Agency, the session will be held in a restricted format. The urgency of the meeting stems from Trump's announcement linking the tariff measures to a demand allowing the United States to purchase Greenland. This unexpected proposal has prompted the EU to discuss potential responses and strategies to counter the economic implications of such tariffs.
