January 17, 2026 • Google News World
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose additional tariffs on several European countries, including the UK and Denmark, in response to their opposition to his proposed annexation of Greenland.
According to reports, Trump is considering increasing tariffs on these countries to 25% until a deal is reached regarding the sale of Greenland. The move comes as tensions between the US and Europe over the issue continue to escalate.
In a statement, Trump vowed that he would impose “extra tariffs” on the affected countries unless they agree to his terms for the sale of Greenland. The exact details of the proposed deal are not yet clear.
Separately, US lawmakers have expressed differing views on the need for the US to own Greenland. In Denmark, some lawmakers have contradicted Trump’s stance on the issue.
The situation has sparked concern among business leaders and politicians in Europe, who are worried about the potential economic impact of increased tariffs.
Details of the proposed deal and the exact terms of the tariffs imposed by Trump remain unclear.
