    Tariffs only affect the country that issues them. Americans are cheering themselves, for punching themselves in the face.

      Well no. If a country used to export a lot of goods and services to the US. The tariffs makes those goods and services less competitive in the US. Thus the exporting country will likely sell less goods and servise to the US.

      And here it is Denmark that is the primary tatget. But Mr. President does not believe Denmark will yeld and give him what he desire. So he also goes after the heroes family and friends for extra pressure.
