Donald Trump unleashes brutal new tariffs on Britain over failure to back Greenland takeover
On 17 January 2026 President Donald Trump announced that a 10 % tariff will be applied to British goods, effective in February, as retaliation because the UK opposed the US purchase of Greenland. The tariff will extend to other nations that fail to support the acquisition. Trump cited the need for the United States to secure strategic Arctic territory and to pressure Britain into backing the deal. The move follows earlier tariff increases aimed at rejuvenating American manufacturing. The announcement comes amid heightened trade tensions and global scrutiny of US foreign policy decisions.
