Emergency Meeting of EU Permanent Representatives in Brussels over Trump Tariffs

The Cypriot Presidency is convening an emergency meeting of the EU Permanent Representatives in Brussels on Sunday, January 18th, in response to Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on European countries. The meeting will be held in a restricted format and will be attended by the ambassadors of the 27 EU member states. This move comes after Trump's unexpected statement that he would impose tariffs until the US is allowed to buy Greenland, causing concern among European governments.
