EU Anti-Coercion Instrument urged for use against US tariff threats over Greenland to counter economic coercion. Authorise and be prepared to deploy the Anti-Coercion Instrument in response to unilateral tariff threats such as those affecting Greenland, using the mechanism as a defensive tool to counter economic coercion and protect EU trade policy leverage.
