Trade tension involving leading European countries has been dialed down by US President Donald Trumps announcement that he has cancelled penalty tariffs against Denmark, Sweden, France, Britain, the Netherlands and Finland.
The tariffs were initially announced over opposition to the USs purchasing of Greenland, with penalties-on-goods escalating to 25 by June 1.
Earlier threats of force by the US if need be, were also replaced by a decidedly more conciliatory tone at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, when Reuters reported Trump as saying military action was not on the table.
