Europe is once again facing a fresh and even more intense dispute over tariffs

New Tariffs Announced Amid US-EU Tensions

President Trump revealed on Saturday that the United States will impose an additional 10% tariff on imports from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark starting February 1. These tariffs are set to remain in place until an agreement regarding Greenland is achieved. If no resolution is found by June 1, the tariff rate will rise to 25%.

Details about the implementation remain uncertain, as the White House has yet to release an official statement—Trump’s announcement was made solely through social media channels. This move represents a further intensification of the ongoing trade dispute between the US and the European Union, highlighting growing strains between the two longstanding partners.
