为夺格陵兰岛，美国对欧洲8国加征关税

当地时间17日，美国总统特朗普表示，将从2月1日起对丹麦、挪威、瑞典、法国、德国、英国、荷兰和芬兰出口至美国的所有商品加征10%关税，加征关税的税率将从6月1日起提高至25%，直至就“完全、彻底购买格陵兰岛”达成协议。随后，多国发表声明回应。

US President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would charge a 10 percent import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations because of their opposition to American control of Greenland, setting up a potentially dangerous test of US partnerships in Europe.

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland would face the tariff, Trump said in a social media post while at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The rate would climb to 25 percent on June 1 if no deal was in place for "the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland" by the United States, he said.

丹麦：美关税政策“令人意外”

丹麦外交大臣拉斯穆森当天在一份书面声明中表示，“特朗普的声明令人意外。其所指的在格陵兰岛增加军事存在的目的，正是为了加强北极地区的安全”“我们正就此事与欧盟委员会和其他合作伙伴保持密切联系”。

"The president's announcement comes as a surprise," Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in a statement.

丹麦副首相兼国防大臣波尔森当天也在社交媒体发表声明称，“美国总统特朗普对丹麦、格陵兰岛以及我们北约盟国的威胁是完全不可接受的。”

法国：关税威胁不可接受

法国总统马克龙当天在社交媒体上表示，美国总统特朗普在法国支持格陵兰岛后发出的关税威胁是“不可接受的”。

他说：“如果这些威胁得到证实，欧洲国家将以团结和协调的方式作出回应。我们将捍卫欧洲的主权。”马克龙还表示，他将就此与其他欧洲伙伴进行沟通。

"Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond to them in a united and coordinated manner if they were to be confirmed," France's President Emmanuel Macron said on X.

德国：将与欧洲伙伴采取应对措施

德国政府发言人斯特凡·科内柳斯当天表示，“德国政府已注意到美国总统的言论，并正与欧洲伙伴密切磋商，我们将共同决定在适当时候采取适当的应对措施”。

In a statement, German government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius said that Berlin has taken note of the US president's comments.

Germany is in close coordination with its European partners and a decision on the appropriate response will be made jointly in due course, he said.

英国：美加征关税的计划“完全错误”

英国首相斯塔默17日发布声明称，美国威胁对欧洲多国加征关税的举措是“完全错误的”。他表示会就此事直接与美国政府交涉。

斯塔默同时强调，英国对格陵兰岛的立场非常明确——它是丹麦的一部分，它的未来应由格陵兰岛人民和丹麦人民共同决定。

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was unusually blunt in condemning Trump's threat, saying on X that his country would raise the issue directly with Washington.

"Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong," Starmer said.

欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩、欧洲理事会主席科斯塔当天在社交媒体发表联合声明称，加征关税将破坏跨大西洋关系，并可能导致危险的恶性循环。欧洲将继续团结一致、协调一致，并致力于维护其主权。

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa said in separate but identical posts on X that the European Union stood in "full solidarity" with Denmark and Greenland.

"Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty," they said.

此外，瑞典、挪威、荷兰、芬兰等多国回应表示不可接受。
