- The EU will continue diplomatic talks with the US to avoid tariffs imposed by President Trump.
- Trump is planning 10% tariffs, escalating to 25%, on goods from eight European countries due to their opposition to a Greenland deal.
- The EU is prepared to retaliate with tariffs targeting $108 billion of US imports and restrict US business access if necessary.

A: Hey Hana! Did you hear about what's happening with the US and Europe?

B: No, Kenji! What is it? It sounds serious!

A: Basically, Trump is mad that some European countries don't want the US to buy Greenland.

B: Greenland? Seriously? What’s that got to do with tariffs?

A: Right? So, he’s putting tariffs on goods from Denmark, France and others. Starting soon! Like, 10% right away!

B: Wow! That’s a lot! Are they going to retaliate?

A: They talked about it! They could put tariffs on US goods too – like, almost 100 billion dollars worth!

B: Ouch! That’s a big number. But they’re trying to talk it out first, right?

A: Yeah, they want to keep talking to Trump. They don’t want things to get worse.

B: Good! Hopefully, they can sort it out before things get really messy.

A: I heard Trump is going to be at a meeting in Switzerland this week.

B: Oh yeah? Maybe they can talk there then! European leaders are meeting too.
