The European Union has clinched a string of pacts after the United States, its top trading partner, flipped into full protectionist mode.

The European Union is "not negotiating" on Greenland, EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday, amid claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that the United States needs to control Greenland for security purposes.

The EU renewed sanctions on Russia and called for unity to respond to Donald Trump's transactional approach. The US president's warning to Moscow to end the war or face more penalties was more in line with EU policy.

Top-ranking European military official Robert Brieger reportedly said it would "make perfect sense" to station troops in Greenland amid President Trump's interest in acquiring it.

In its latest health check for the Irish economy, aptly named “Dodging Bullets,” Dublin-based broker Goodbody warned Ireland that it would face major policy issues if Trump decided to implement aggressive tariffs on the EU and cut corporation taxes in the States.

Denmark said on Monday it would spend 14.6 billion Danish kroner ($2.05 billion) boosting its military capabilities in the Arctic – a decision that comes amid continuing furor following US President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in controlling Greenland,

Canada is seeking to coordinate with the UK, EU and Mexico on US President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs, Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said Monday ahead of a trip to Washington. She told reporters in Ottawa she has been in contact with her Mexican counterpart and would reach out this week to British officials and representatives of the 27-nation European Union.

On Wednesday, HHS nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will take questions from the Senate Finance Committee. And on Thursday, Tulsi Gabbard — Trump’s pick for the director of national intelligence — will face the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Monday it would no longer post on X and would use rival Bluesky instead, becoming the latest organisation to quit a social media platform that some have criticised for its content.

U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to address a longstanding trade deficit with the European Union, saying he will reverse that by imposing tariffs or making the EU buy more U.S. oil and gas.

President Trump ruffled feathers with his plan to buy Greenland, and a Danish MEP is pushing back in a coarsely worded response put in 'words [he] might understand.'
