US to Impose 10 Percent Tariff on 8 European Countries Opposing Greenland Deal
‘The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk,’ Trump wrote.The tariff will impact Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland starting Feb. 1, according to a Truth Social post on Jan. 17. The countries are all NATO members.
“This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” Trump wrote.
“The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important.”
The tariff will increase to 25 percent on June 1.
