Some $100 billion worth of American exports—from Boeing aircraft to bourbon whiskey—could get caught in the crossfire if President Trump follows through with a threat to put new tariffs on European allies over Greenland.

Last year, the European Union put on hold import duties on a list of hundreds of categories of American products after the two sides struck a deal. These are set to kick in Feb. 7 unless the bloc extends the suspension. That gives the EU a fairly straightforward option to retaliate if the U.S. imposes new duties on several European countries for opposing Trump’s plan to take control of Greenland, The Wall Street Journal’s Kim Mackrael and Benjamin Katz write.

EU officials say they are giving priority to dialogue with the Trump administration to avoid escalation. Leaders of the bloc’s member countries are due to meet Thursday to discuss the issue. Officials and diplomats say firm decisions are unlikely before the U.S. imposes new tariffs. While last year’s tariff list is an option for retaliation, the EU could change its targets or respond with different measures.

Amazon is launching its largest ever retail store, planning a new property in the Chicago suburbs with a footprint big enough to fit two average-size Target stores under its roof. The Journal’s Kate King writes that about half of Amazon’s proposed big-box store in Orland Park, Ill., will sell groceries, general merchandise and food prepared on site. The other half would be used for fulfillment of online and in-store orders.

The e-commerce giant has spent years trying to translate its online dominance into bricks-and-mortar success. It has yet to hit on a consistently winning formula. Amazon has closed dozens of branded stores and more than half of its Amazon Go convenience stores. Now, Amazon is aiming bigger, planning a roughly 230,000-square-foot property.

Even with online shopping’s meteoric rise over the past two decades, in-store purchases still comprise more than 80% of all retail sales, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

BYD is leading a pack of Chinese automakers whose global export onslaught has surpassed even bullish expectations, the WSJ’s Stephen Wilmot and Santiago Pérez write. The Shenzhen-based EV maker delivered more than a million vehicles outside China in 2025, more than double the previous year’s total.

China surpassed Japan in 2023 as the world’s No. 1 auto exporter. Last year, the nation shipped 7.1 million vehicles, up from 5.9 million the previous year. BYD has ​replaced Tesla ​as the world’s biggest EV seller. Chinese brands hold a roughly 7% share of Western Europe’s auto market, but in the U.S., tariffs and restrictions on Chinese software have effectively barred imports from China.

Yet Chinese vehicles could be on the way. Geely hinted this month it might expand production of its Chinese brands to the U.S., possibly at the South Carolina factory of its subsidiary Volvo Cars.
