Germany pulled troops from Greenland amid U.S. tariff threats tied to Trump’s push to buy the territory.
German Bundeswehr personnel were abruptly withdrawn from Greenland on January 18, 2026, after a brief deployment, with 15 soldiers and officers departing from Nuuk’s airport.
The sudden evacuation, without official explanation, follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose escalating tariffs on Germany and other European nations unless Greenland is acquired by the U.S.
The tariffs, set to begin February 1 and rise to 25% by June, are tied to Trump’s demand for a “full and final acquisition” of Greenland, citing security concerns.
The move has sparked international concern, with European allies rejecting the idea and U.S. lawmakers from both parties opposing the plan.
No official reason has been given for Germany’s withdrawal.
