The United States has once again taken up the sword of tariffs, but this time not against trade deficits, rather over territorial sovereignty.

Trump issued an ultimatum to traditional European allies: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland recently sent troops to Greenland to participate in Arctic endurance exercises. In Trump's logic, this island should fall within U.S. influence, and such actions are deemed provocative.

His solution is straightforward: either sell the island or pay up.

The specific timeline is as follows—starting February 1st, a 10% punitive tariff will be imposed, escalating to 25% on June 1st. The only way out is to reach an agreement to purchase Greenland, after which the tariffs will be lifted.

For investors, this is not just geopolitical news. This conflict is reshaping global capital flows, from stock markets and bond markets to the cryptocurrency market, with liquidity experiencing intense volatility in every corner. Europe currently maintains a firm stance, with Denmark explicitly reaffirming that Greenland cannot be sold.

The key question is: when this tariff threat actually materializes, is your investment portfolio ready?
