Europeans are reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that eight countries will face 10% tariff for opposing American control of Greenland. Trump's decision was announced Saturday. Overnight, leaders across Europe blasted the move. The U.S. president’s threat sets up a potentially dangerous test of U.S. partnerships in Europe. Several European countries have sent troops to Greenland in recent days, saying they are there for Arctic security training. The Republican president appeared to indicate that he was using the tariffs as leverage to force talks with Denmark and other European countries over the status of Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.
