Trump is furious! Seeing that European countries refuse to yield, Trump issued an ultimatum to the eight European countries. On January 19, US President Trump said he would "100%" implement the tariff measures he had imposed on the eight European countries that opposed American control over Greenland. Trump said: I will, 100% will. Europe should focus on the war between Russia and Ukraine, because frankly, you have all seen what this war has brought them.
This war is what Europe should focus on, not Greenland. As for whether to take Greenland by force, Trump resolutely said: I can't reveal it. Obviously, seeing the eight European countries first sending troops to Greenland, and then French President Macron proposed to activate the "counter-coercion mechanism" to deal with a series of actions by the US, Trump was clearly enraged. The message Trump conveyed is clear: Europe must yield, otherwise the US will take it seriously.
If tariffs cannot achieve the goal, then using force is also not beyond consideration. Of course, from the US perspective, taking Greenland without bloodshed by purchasing it is the best option. However, from the European perspective, if the US succeeds, it could be a great humiliation. The deadline given by the US to European countries is February 1st, and Trump obviously issued a final ultimatum. Obviously, ten days later, Trump wants to see results, and Europe may need to prepare for a trade war first. Because, Trump is really coming this time.
