Europe and allies fight back against Trump’s actions

Europe and its allies came out fighting on Tuesday with key figures attacking US President Donald Trump’s “world without rules”, hours before his arrival at the World Economic Forum in Davos. French President Emmanuel Macron warned of the “shift towards a world without rules, where international law is trampled underfoot and where the only law that seems to matter is thatbof ‌the strongest”. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, stressed that the sovereignty of Greenland was “non-negotiable”. Ms von der Leyen said the threatened tariffs were a mistake that could plunge relations into “a downwards spiral”. The White House has used it as a threat to every dispute in the past year.
