The US will impose tariffs on eight EU countries for Greenland

US President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social the introduction of 10% tariffs on imports from several European countries, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and Finland.

The measure will take effect on February 1 and appears to be a response to ongoing trade tensions between the US and the EU. At the same time, however, the president surprised with another move—he plans to increase tariffs on imports from Greenland to 25 percent starting in June.

He made this move conditional on the conclusion of an agreement to purchase Greenland, reviving a topic that has already caused controversy in the past.

Trump stressed that the measures will remain in place until the United States reaches an agreement with Greenland and Denmark. The reactions of the countries concerned are not yet known.
