Prime Minister Robert Abela was called to an emergency summit in Brussels, together with other European leaders to discuss the uncertainty that every country is facing. Abela did not give other information regarding the topics that are to be discussed in a Facebook statement posted yesterday. However, this emergency meeting comes amid global turmoil and conflicts that have emerged in the past weeks.“In the face of this global uncertainty, Malta will continue to take decisions in favour of international stability and in the best interest of all the Maltese and Gozitan people,” wrote Abela on Facebook.European Union leaders were called to convene an emergency summit in response to recent remarks and threats by US President Donald Trump concerning Greenland.The move follows urgent consultations among EU diplomats in Brussels, reflecting growing concern that the situation could escalate into a broader political and economic confrontation between long-standing allies.The alarm was triggered by Trump’s warning that the United States could impose punitive tariffs on a range of European countries unless Denmark agrees to enter negotiations over the future of Greenland, which is a semi-autonomous territory within the Danish kingdom.EU officials have described the tactic of linking trade measures to territorial demands as unacceptable and contrary to international norms, warning that it risks undermining both transatlantic relations and established trade agreements.Discussions will likely include potential EU countermeasures, such as the use of the bloc’s anti-coercion tools, as well as ways to reinforce respect for sovereignty and international law. The situation in the Arctic, where strategic and security interests are increasingly prominent, is also expected to feature prominently in the talks.European officials have repeatedly stressed that Greenland’s future can only be determined by its people and the relevant constitutional authorities, not through external pressure or economic threats. Several governments have warned that any attempt to coerce an EU member state could provoke a strong collective response, while also complicating wider cooperation with Washington on trade and security.The dispute has added strain to an already delicate transatlantic relationship and raised questions about the future of broader EU-US agreements. As tensions rise, EU leaders are seeking to project a coordinated and firm stance, aiming to deter further escalation while keeping diplomatic channels open.What do you make of this?•
