President of the United States Donald Trump has just announced a controversial decision to impose duties on seven Europeans. He accuses them of subsidizing Denmark and of not charging for Greenland.
In his statement published on the Truth Social platform, he stressed that for centuries United States They did not receive compensation for protecting this strategic island, and now it is time for retaliation.
The duties of 10% are to enter into force as early as 1 February 2026 on all goods exported to the US from the following countries:
- Denmark
- Norway
- Sweden
- France
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Netherlands
- Finland
From 1 June 2026, they will rise to 25% until the conclusion of the Greenland Purchase Agreement.
Trump argues that this is a question of national security and global peace, and the US is the only country capable of effectively protecting this land.
For many years we have subsidized Denmark, all the countries of the European Union and other countries without imposing duties or any other form of remuneration on them. Now, after centuries, it is time for Denmark to return the favor – world peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and Denmark can't help it. They currently have two dog teams as protection, one of which has been added recently. Just United States America under the leadership of the PRESIDENT DONALDA J. TRUMPA can play this game with great success! No one would touch this sacred land, especially since the national security of the United States and the whole world is at stake. Moreover, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Finland went to Greenland for an unknown purpose. This is a very dangerous situation for the safety and survival of our planet. Those countries that play this very dangerous game have put themselves at risk, which is unacceptable and unacceptable. Therefore, in order to protect global peace and security, it is necessary to take decisive action to ensure that this potentially dangerous situation ends quickly and without any doubt. As of 1 February 2026 all the abovementioned countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland) will be charged a 10% tariff for all goods shipped to the United States of America. The tariff will be increased to 25% on 1 June 2026. This duty will be due and payable until agreement is reached on the total and total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to make this transaction for over 150 years. Many presidents have tried to do so, and for important reasons, but Denmark has always refused. Today, due to the Golden Dome and modern weapon systems, both offensive and defensive, the need to acquire it is particularly important. Currently, hundreds of billions of dollars are spent on security programs related to the "dome", including the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but extremely complex system can only work with maximum efficiency and efficiency if the angle, measure and boundaries of the site are taken into account. The United States of America is ready for immediate negotiations with Denmark and/or make
