Trump’s Greenland Power Play: EU vs USA Trade War Escalates | Rules-Based Order Collapses
The Trump administration is weaponizing tariffs against Western Europe in an unprecedented move that exposes the hypocrisy of the “rules-based international order.” While Europe has historically enforced this system on the Global South, they’re now experiencing American coercion firsthand—and they don’t like it.
BREAKING: EU Prepares Massive Retaliation
In response to Trump’s 10% tariff threat over Greenland, the European Union is preparing €93 BILLION in retaliatory tariffs. They’re also considering deploying their “anti-coercion instrument”—a trade weapon created in 2023 but never used—that could force American companies completely out of European markets. France is leading the charge to activate this financial bazooka.
The Greenland Territorial Dispute Explained
Trump wants Greenland, and Europe rallied behind Denmark’s refusal to allow American annexation. Here’s the geopolitical reality most media won’t tell you: Greenland sits 1,000 miles from the US/Canada but 2,000 miles from Denmark. As America contracts its sphere of influence toward its home continent in this emerging multipolar world, this move becomes strategically logical.
Western Hypocrisy Exposed
The rules-based order only applied when it benefited Western powers against Africa, Asia, and the Global South. Now that America is breaking those same rules at Europe’s expense, European allies are shocked. They thought international law didn’t apply between them—only against third-world nations.
NATO Allies in Crisis
These are America’s closest military allies—countries that have fought alongside the US for decades. A full-scale trade war over territorial expansion represents a seismic shift in transatlantic relations and signals the end of unconditional Western unity.
What This Means for the Multipolar World
If you’ve followed my 2024 geopolitical analysis, you know I’ve been forecasting America’s strategic contraction. In a multipolar world, even traditional allies are no longer safe from great power competition. The unipolar moment is over.
