U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose tariffs on eight European countries over Greenland, escalating tensions with allies in Europe.
Starting February 1, 2026, countries including the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Finland will face a 10% tariff on all goods exported to the U.S., increasing to 25% by June if a deal for the “complete and total purchase of Greenland” is not reached.
Trump framed the move as a matter of global security, citing concerns about China and Russia, and argued that only the United States could protect Greenland effectively. His post on Truth Social said: “World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it.”
The announcement has triggered widespread protests in Greenland and Denmark, with citizens asserting their right to self-governance and waving signs that read “Greenland is not for sale”. European leaders have emphasized that Greenland’s future is a decision for its own people, while U.S. lawmakers urge caution to maintain trust with allies.
