President Trump’s announcement of a 10% tariff on eight European countries for opposing U.S. control of Greenland has sparked strong reactions, with concerns over deteriorating transatlantic relations and potential benefits for China and Russia. The affected countries, including Denmark and the UK, reaffirmed their commitment to Arctic security and criticized the tariffs as undermining cooperation. Domestically, Trump’s move faced backlash from both political allies and opponents, with a CBS News poll indicating widespread American opposition to purchasing or seizing Greenland. European leaders are scheduled for emergency talks to discuss their response to the tariffs and the implications for U.S.-EU relations.
