CNN Breaks Down How Trump Turned Greenland Into a Trade Bargaining Chip

2026-01-18 08:40 PM IST

U.S. President Donald Trump revives his controversial interest in Greenland, this time tying it directly to punitive trade measures against Europe. CNN reports reveal a sharp escalation, with Trump openly signaling tariffs as leverage in talks over the Denmark-governed Arctic territory. According to statements shared on Truth Social, Trump frames the proposed tariffs as retaliation for what he claims are decades of American subsidies to European economies. The warning is explicit: a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark and key European nations starting February, with a possible jump to 25% by June if no agreement on Greenland is reached. WATCH
