Trump’s tariff threat is an attempt to divide Europe and quash opposition over Greenland

Using one of his favourite weapons to win an argument, the president underlines the unstable nature of any deal with Trump

Donald Trump’s threat to impose fresh tariffs on eight European countries – UK, Norway and six EU member states – is a wrecking ball to the carefully stitched deals he concluded with those countries last summer.

It also disregards the fact that individual member states do not have individual trade deals with the US. All EU international trade deals are conducted centrally through Brussels, as was the case with last summer’s deal.
