Trump Imposes Tariffs on European Nations Over Greenland Dispute

• US President Donald Trump announced a 10% import tax on goods from eight European countries starting February 1, 2026.
• The tariffs are a response to these nations' opposition to US control of Greenland, a mineral-rich territory.
• Affected countries include Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland.
• The tariff will escalate to 25% on June 1, 2026, and remain until Greenland is "completely and totally" sold to the US.
• Trump cited global peace and security concerns, while the legal authority for these tariffs remains unclear.
