Customs crisis Voices about tariffs

Analysis: The decision could have consequences for Greenland

The Supreme Court's decision that Donald Trump's extensive tariffs are against the law could have consequences for Greenland and Denmark, writes Berlingskes' Jacob Heinel Jensen in an analysis.

"When American presidents are under pressure at home and have weak opinion figures, they often start looking abroad," he writes.

He believes that this is why Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has repeatedly said that the Greenland crisis could flare up again.

The New York Times' Jeanna Smialek writes that Europe had hoped that 2026 would bring a certain calm after a chaotic 2025. And even if the customs decision is welcomed to some extent, a new period of uncertainty is now beginning.

"A new round of turbulence could take up all the geopolitical space at a time when many in Europe had hoped to focus on other priorities, such as securing Ukraine's future and protecting themselves against what they describe as unfair Chinese trade practices."

EU closely following tariff developments: "Keep an ice pack in your stomach"

The EU and European countries are analyzing the Supreme Court's decision to halt Donald Trump's global tariffs, reports AFP.

EU spokesman Olof Gill says it is "in close contact with the US administration to clarify the next steps". He emphasizes the need for "stability" and "predictability".

France believes the ruling shows that the tariffs are "open to debate". The German industry association BDI sees the decision as proof that the separation of powers is working.

Sweden's Foreign Trade Minister Benjamin Dousa (M) welcomes the announcement, but warns that "it is too early to shout hello".

– We'll probably have ice in our stomachs, he tells TT.
