EU Prepares $100B Retaliation as Trade Tensions With the US Escalate
The European Union is reportedly drafting up to $100 billion in tariffs and market restrictions aimed at United States companies, responding to rising geopolitical pressure tied to Greenland-related threats.
This isn’t diplomatic theater. Brussels is signaling a willingness to weaponize market access, potentially impacting major US tech, defense, and industrial firms operating across Europe. The objective is leverage, not headlines.
Markets tend to dismiss trade friction until it suddenly isn’t ignorable. If these measures move from planning to execution, global equities, risk assets, and cross-border supply chains could feel the shock quickly.
Trade wars rarely begin with tariffs. They begin with warnings.
