President Donald Trump has announced a 10% tariff on European countries supporting Denmark in its pursuit of Greenland.
In a social media post, Trump warned that the tariff would go into effect on February 1 and could rise to 25% in June if “we don’t get an agreement to buy Greenland completely and totally.”
It said the tariffs would hit Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland.
US Tariffs on 8 EU Countries Over Greenland Dispute: Read Trump’s Full Statement
We have subsidized Denmark and all the countries of the European Union and others for many years by not charging them tariffs or any other form of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it’s time for Denmark to give it back – world peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland and Denmark can’t do anything about it. They currently have two sled dogs for protection, one was added recently. Only the United States of America under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP can play this game, and very successfully!

No one will touch this sacred piece of land, especially when the national security of the United States and the entire world is at stake. Among others, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland traveled to Greenland for an unknown purpose. This is a very dangerous situation for the safety, security and survival of our planet. These countries playing this very dangerous game have put a level of risk into the game that is not sustainable or sustainable.
Therefore, it is imperative that strong measures are taken to protect global peace and security so that this potentially dangerous situation ends quickly and without doubt. Starting February 1, 2026, all of the above countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland) will be charged a 10% tariff on all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1, 2026, the tariff will be increased to 25%. This tariff will be due and payable until an agreement is reached for the full and complete purchase of Greenland. The United States has been attempting this transaction for over 150 years.
Many presidents have tried, and with good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of the Golden Dome and modern weapon systems, both offensive and defensive, the need to GET is especially important. Hundreds of billions of dollars are currently being spent on security programs that have to do with the “Dome” including the possible protection of Canada, and this very ingenious but very complex system can only work to its maximum potential and effectiveness, because of the angles, metas and borders, if this Earth is included in it.
