- European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday that Europe has no interest to pick a fight with the United States but has a slate of tools to protect its interests.

"Arctic security is a shared transatlantic interest, and one we can discuss with our U.S. allies. But tariff threats are not the way to go about this," Kallas said in a post on social media platform X after meeting with Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen and Greenland's Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt in Brussels.

"Sovereignty is not for trade. We have no interest to pick a fight, but we will hold our ground. Europe has a slate of tools to protect its interests," she added.
