Trump Threatens Tariffs Over Greenland Plan as European Pushback Grows

Internal OMB modeling alongside allied think tank proposals has moved the concept from fringe notion to active policy debate.

Overview

  • Trump said he could impose tariffs on countries that do not support the U.S. approach to Greenland, framing the island as a national security need and offering no details on timing or targets.
  • Bloomberg reports that several political groups in the European Parliament want to postpone the vote on the EUU.S. trade agreement because of the Greenland dispute.
  • Corriere della Sera notes that several European countries, excluding Italy, announced small military deployments to the Danish territory as tensions increase.
  • The Center for Renewing America published a paper entertaining coercive options up to unilateral annexation, while the American Enterprise Institute warned such moves could jeopardize NATO.
  • OMB under Russell Vought ordered cost estimates and management scenarios, and Reuters reported the administration has considered per-resident payments of about $10,000 to $100,000, with Denmark’s current subsidy around $600 million annually; a pending Supreme Court ruling could constrain U.S. tariff use.
