<h1>Greenland security and trade tensions prompt EU to deploy reconnaissance troops, threaten countermeasures and pause trade vote</h1> Greenland-related US threats prompted coordinated European measures asserting territorial integrity and national sovereignty; the EU deployed reconnaissance forces to signal collective security readiness and pledged trade countermeasures in response to proposed US tariffs, producing a political reversal by the US and a pause in an EU vote on a trade agreement. The EU also debated participation in a proposed international Board of Peace, with several states declining, while members reaffirmed adherence to principles of international law and signalled stronger transatlantic conditionality over security cooperation in the Arctic region.
