U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose tariffs on eight European countries over Greenland, escalating tensions with allies in Europe.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.”<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Watch the full breakdown to understand the political, economic, and global security implications of this escalating dispute.<br /><br />#Trump #Greenland #USPolitics #EuropeTariffs #InternationalNews #ArcticSecurity #USForeignPolicy #Denmark #Protests #GlobalSecurity<br /><br />Join this channel to get access to perks:<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpLEtz3H0jSfEneSdf1YKnw/join
