January 20, 2026 — U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened a new set of tariffs on eight European countries, potentially impacting the seafood industry and a prior trade deal with the European Union.
In a post on his social media site Truth Social, Trump threatened 10 percent tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, and Finland starting 1 February over those countries’ decision to station personnel in Greenland. He added those tariffs will be increased to 25 percent on 1 June 2026 unless he receives a deal for the “Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”
