President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that additional 10% tariffs would take effect on February 1 on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and Great Britain.
The tariffs would rise to 25% on June 1 and remain in place until Greenland is sold to the U.S.
The Trump Greenland tariffs have drawn immediate backlash from Europe. Leaders of Denmark and Greenland rejected any sale of the territory, calling the idea unacceptable.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the move was “completely wrong,” while EU leaders expressed full solidarity with Denmark.

Protests in Denmark and Greenland also erupted over the Trump Greenland tariffs, showing strong public opposition.
