By only imposing tariffs on only 8 European countries, Trump has left 2/3 of Europe unaffected. Those other European countries are far less likely to speak out against Trump's policy now. They want to avoid tariffs on themselves. President Trump has launched a divide and conquer strategy on Europe, in order to apply pressure on Greenland. Denmark, Germany, Britain, Sweden, Norway, France, Finland and the Netherlands now face the prospect of their economies getting squeezed from the largest market on the planet. The next step will be 25% tariffs in June. Likely sanctions and their strategic companies are also under consideration. Those countries already are in weak financial situations, with stagnant economies, energy prices that are 2x to 4x higher than the USA, regulations strangling their businesses. Trump cutting them off from the largest market on the planet will push many of their manufacturers over the edge, forcing them to move or shutdown. The European Union caved on a trade deal with the USA in 2025 because they knew they had zero leverage. Europe needs the USA. The USA is perfectly fine with squeezing Europe for leverage. That is the reality of the situation.(Wall Street Mav)
