Portugal's Foreign Minister backed a European countermeasure, echoing Macron's proposal to give the EU the power to limit imports or block investments from countries that use coercive economic measures. In response to threats from President Trump — notably over Greenland — the European Parliament has suspended ratification of a bilateral trade agreement that would have removed US tariffs, a move supported across the political spectrum and by the 27 member states. The shift signals growing EU unity on trade defence and calibrated reciprocity in US–EU economic relations.
