Russian officials welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on NATO allies over Greenland, with Kremlin economic negotiator Kirill Dmitriev claiming on Jan. 17 that the move signals the “collapse” of the transatlantic alliance.

Trump earlier said that Washington would impose 10% tariffs on NATO allies — France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, and Finland — until the U.S. reaches a deal to buy Greenland. He has threatened to acquire the island “one way or the other.”

“The transatlantic alliance is over,” Dmitriev wrote on X, mocking European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and urging European leaders not to “provoke” Trump.
