Trump Slaps Tariffs on EU Nations Over Greenland Stance
In January 2026, President Trump announced a 10% import tariff on goods from eight European nations (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland), escalating to 25% in June, due to their opposition to the U.S. acquiring Greenland. Trump justified the tariffs as retaliation for European representatives visiting Greenland and resistance to the U.S. purchase, citing Greenland's importance to U.S. missile defense and concerns about Russian and Chinese influence, a move that further strained relations with NATO allies.
