In a dramatic escalation of the Greenland dispute,U.S. President Donald Trump has announced punitive tariffs of 10% on imports from eight European NATO countriesincluding Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland for opposing U.S. control of Greenland.
The tariffs, set to take effect on February 1, will rise to 25% by June 1 if no deal is reached for what Trump calls the “complete and total purchase of Greenland,” a move that has rocked global diplomacy and trade relations.
European leaders have condemned the threats as economic blackmail, warning that this aggressive tactic risks sparking a dangerous downward spiral in transatlantic relations and undermines decades of NATO unity.
Protests have erupted in cities like Nuuk and Copenhagen, with crowds chanting “Greenland is not for sale” and accusing Washington of coercive tactics, intensifying fears of a wider diplomatic rupture.
Bottom line: U.S. tariff pressure over Greenland has transformed a strategic Arctic dispute into a high-stakes geopolitical flashpoint, where trade conflict threatens military alliances and global stability.
