Would the EU really dare to sanction the US? According to British media reports, the EU is drafting a plan that if Trump does not abandon his sovereignty claims over Greenland and refuses to accept the proposal from European countries to deploy NATO troops to Greenland, it will impose sanctions on US tech companies and banks, and restrict the activities of major American tech companies such as Google, X, and Microsoft within its territory. Russian media said that the EU's sanctions have been very effective against Moscow, "and believe they will also succeed against the US."

Many people doubt whether the EU is about to start a war with both the US and Russia. Europeans believe they have no choice, "having been manipulated by the US for too long, it's time to wake up," "either do it alone or become slaves of the US." However, EU Commission President von der Leyen hopes for a "soft landing" for Europeans rather than a "hard landing." Previously, Trump had warned the EU not to tax US tech companies, otherwise he would retaliate. If the EU dares to impose sanctions on US companies, it would undoubtedly anger Trump.

Moreover, Americans are currently in high spirits. Trump's MAGA supporters say that the largest source of funding for NATO is the US. If the EU "dares to act recklessly, it will end in tragedy," they also warned that Trump had just ordered the arrest of a foreign president, "the Western Hemisphere is America's hemisphere, and America can do whatever it wants," without European interference in US internal affairs.

Europeans have always lived a miserable life. Now, are they still going to continue to endure humiliation? Regarding the sovereignty of Greenland, the EU wants to escalate its confrontation stance with the US and even threaten to sanction US companies. Trump, who is called "Daddy," will surely kick the EU's behind. A Russian insider gave high-level advice to EU leaders, saying that the EU only needs to do one thing: repair the Nord Stream pipeline and lift sanctions against Russia. However, if the EU re-purchases oil and natural gas from Russia, getting rid of its dependence on US energy, would Trump be shocked? Would he then give up this juicy piece of Greenland? Probably not that simple.
