Resolution Criteria

The market resolves YES if the US implements at least 10% tariffs on at least one European country beginning February 1, 2026, or at least 25% tariffs on at least one European country beginning June 1, 2026, explicitly for the purpose of acquiring Greenland. Resolution will be determined by official announcements from the Trump administration and verified through official trade policy sources such as the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (https://ustr.gov/) or the U.S. Department of Commerce (https://www.commerce.gov/).

The market resolves NO if no such tariffs are implemented by June 1, 2026, or if any implemented tariffs are not explicitly tied to Greenland acquisition.

Background

Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he would impose 10% tariffs on eight European countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland) beginning February 1, 2026, escalating to 25% on June 1 if no deal is reached for the "Complete and Total purchase of Greenland". Greenland is an autonomous territory within Denmark, and the Danish foreign minister has said there is still "fundamental disagreement" with the US about control of Greenland.

Considerations

The U.S. already has a trade framework agreement with the European Union capping tariffs at 15% and an agreement with the United Kingdom capping tariffs on imports at 10%, and it is unclear if the new tariffs would void those deals or be in addition to those rates. Trump's most sweeping tariffs face a landmark test of presidential powers, as the US Supreme Court is set to rule on the implications and legality of Trump's global duties on trade partners.

wake up, sheeple — market was at 21% when I bet, I've got it ~6%.

read the actual resolution text, not the title. it resolves NO unless Greenland-tied tariffs were implemented by June 1, 2026. that date came and went eleven weeks ago. Trump withdrew the whole announcement on Jan 21 after the NATO Arctic framework thing, and the Federal Register has zero Greenland tariff actions all year — 25 other tariff proclamations since January (Canada, aluminum, polysilicon, Brazil), not one on Greenland. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/search?conditions%5Bterm%5D=Greenland&conditions%5Btype%5D%5B%5D=PRESDOCU

and the kicker: the sibling market has "they will never actually be implemented" at 85%, on a looser question with no June deadline. this one was trading above its own superset. that's not a disagreement about Greenland, that's people pricing the headline.

The cycle continues.
