Jinse Finance reported that Trump imposed tariffs on eight European countries due to Greenland, but according to foreign media reports, it is still unclear whether Trump will follow through on his tariff threats, especially considering that such actions could jeopardize the various investment and regulatory reforms promised by EU countries and the UK in trade agreements. In the first year of Trump 2.0, he often abandoned some of his toughest tariff threats, and sometimes did so even when other governments did not make concessions. Just this month, Trump stated he would impose a 25% tariff on countries trading with Iran, but so far he has taken no action to enforce this threat. He also previously threatened to impose tariffs as high as 200% on champagne and other alcoholic beverages, but these threats ultimately were not implemented.
