U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a 10% global tariff on imports from all countries, effective Tuesday, February 25, 2026, following a Supreme Court ruling that his previous punitive tariffs were unlawful. While this is a reduction from the previous 15% EU–U.S. tariff, Danish companies face significant uncertainty.

Michael Bremerskov Jensen, head of global market development at Danish Business, notes that even a lower tariff does not alleviate planning difficulties, as companies cannot confidently negotiate prices, freight, and customs. The Confederation of Danish Industry also warns of potential targeted tariffs on specific product groups.
Despite these challenges, Danish exports to the U.S. reached a record DKK 375 billion in 2025, though ongoing uncertainty may affect 2026 trade. The tariffs are set for 150 days, with any extension requiring Congressional approval.
