In order to prevent the United States from using military force to control Greenland, eight European countries symbolically sent troops to Greenland, with not many, some sending just one or two people, mainly as a political statement. As a countermeasure, Trump announced on February 1 that an additional 10% tariff would be imposed on these eight countries, and if they insisted on not backing down, it would increase to 25% on June 1. If this continues, it is possible that in the end, the money for the U.S. to buy the island will still be sponsored by Europe, which is somewhat funny!
