President Trump announced a 10% tariff on goods from NATO countries sending troops to Greenland, set to rise to 25% by June 1, as part of efforts to acquire the island. He claimed that China and Russia pose threats to Greenland’s security, insisting only the U.S. can effectively manage its interests there. European leaders, including France’s Macron and the UK’s Starmer, condemned the tariff threats, affirming Greenland’s sovereignty. Protests erupted in Greenland against Trump’s acquisition proposal, with significant opposition from both American voters and Congress.
