'Line has been drawn': Allies warn of $100+ billion retaliation for Trump's new tariffs [View all]

America's allies in Europe warned on Sunday that they are prepared to move forward with a more than $100 billion plan to retaliate for President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs, according to a new report.

On Saturday, Trump imposed new 10% tariffs on all goods from six EU countries, the U.K., and Norway, in an attempt to up the ante in his bid to acquire Greenland from the Kingdom of Denmark. On Sunday, diplomats from the bloc's 27 governments met to affirm their options to "fight back" against the tariffs, Politico's European bureau reported.

“It’s clear that a line has been drawn and enough is enough,” said one diplomat with knowledge of Sunday's talks. “But at the moment we are discussing options — if Trump’s tariffs are imposed, then we will be discussing not what options there are but which options to use.”
