![Trump to Impose Tariffs on Some European Nations Over Greenland
By Kevin Whitelaw
01/17/2026 11:27:04 [BN]
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump
announced a 10% tariff on European countries rallying to Denmark's side in his pursuit of Greenland.
Trump threatened in a social media post to impose the tariff Feb. 1 and raise the tariff to 25% in June unless "a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."
The tariffs will apply to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, he said.

A simple point: Trump’s tariff threats (against Greenland's allies!) rest on a power before SCOTUS and likely to be ruled unconstitutional. That’s not leverage; it’s probabilistic impotence. (Stormy Daniels agrees.)

Quick estimate: Trump just launched a (renewed) trade war against countries that collectively account for around 11% of U.S. imports of goods. If they retaliate, 22% of U.S. goods exports are at risk (that's 15% for the 8 countries affected, plus 7% for the rest of the EU).
All for Greenland.
All for Greenland.

Trump just announced new tariffs on Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland—over Greenland. Yet he claims to have struck "comprehensive" trade deals covering 7 of these 8 nations.
If "deals" don't bind, why negotiate?
Extra credit: What has he done to U.S. leverage?
