#TrumpTariffsOnEurope

A major "risk-off" event was triggered this week after President Trump announced a 10% tariff on eight European nations (including Germany, France, and the UK) starting February 1, 2026.

The Reason: A pressure tactic regarding the U.S. bid to purchase Greenland.

Escalation: Threats exist to raise these tariffs to 25% by June if a deal is not reached.

Impact: European stock futures (Euro Stoxx 50) have slumped, and the EU is considering activating "anti-coercion" measures.
