US EditionTrump to Impose 10% Tariffs on Eight European Countries for Opposing U.S. Control of Greenland
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland over opposition to American control of Greenland.
- Strategically, Greenland matters because it straddles the Arctic Circle and has been eyed for more than 150 years; Trump argued it holds rich minerals and China and Russia have designs on it.
- The rate would climb to 25% on June 1 if no deal is reached, and Trump is scheduled to travel on Tuesday to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to meet the eight European nations.
- Hundreds in Nuuk and thousands in Copenhagen protested in support of Greenlandic self-governance while Denmark increased its military presence there with NATO allies.
- Practical and legal hurdles, including EU single-market rules and a U.S. Supreme Court challenge, may complicate enforcement, while Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., urged Congress to reclaim tariff authorities.
