The Taoiseach is urging Europe and the US to “breathe new life” into relations between the two after a tense week of talks that went down to the wire over the fate of the Danish protectorate of Greenland.

Micheál Martin was speaking in Brussels for an emergency meeting of EU leaders organised in the wake of US president Donald Trump’s threat to levy 10% tariffs on seven EU members and the UK.
