Europeans Muster More Words Than Troops After Trump Pressures Allies With Sweeping Tariffs To Acquire Greenland – IJR

After President Donald Trump announced that eight European nations would face increasing tariffs until the U.S. can acquire Greenland, European leaders have condemned his tactics. The nations have sent limited military personnel to Greenland in support of Denmark, which controls the island. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on these countries' goods sent to the U.S. starting February 1, increasing to 25% by June 1 unless a deal is reached. European leaders have expressed their support for Greenland remaining part of Denmark and have criticized Trump's tariff threats, warning of potential damage to the transatlantic relationship.
