Europeans are reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that eight countries will face 10% tariff for opposing American control of Greenland.

President Donald Trump announced that the NATO countries who have sent small contingents of troops to Greenland will be charged a 10% tariff on all goods.

President Donald Trump threatens steep tariffs on European nations unless Denmark sells Greenland to the U.S., citing national defense and security.

In a post on social media, Trump said a 10% tariff will take effect on Feb. 1, and will climb to 25% on June 1 if a deal is not in place for the United States to purchase Greenland.

Mr. Trump previously threatened to impose tariffs against countries that do not support his plans to acquire the territory.

President Donald Trump said he would introduce tariffs on several European allies for sending troops to Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark that he has repeatedly threatened to annex .

If there was any sort of action that looked like the goal was actually landing in Greenland and doing an illegal taking … there’d be sufficient numbers here to pass a war powers resolution and withstand a veto,
