This is how alliances crack. You take a strategic question, Greenland, and turn it into a tariff threat aimed at your own partners. Feb 1 brings 10%, June 1 threatens 25%, and everyone starts counting down like it's a bomb timer. The EU can retaliate, companies reroute, and suddenly the 'deal' becomes collateral damage in a trade brawl. Even if Trump gets a concession, the lesson for Europe is simple: hedge against Washington. That pushes allies toward independent security and trade tools, which undercuts US leverage. It's like setting your kitchen on fire to prove you own the house. Game of Thrones with spreadsheets, minus the dragons.
