Analysts at the Kobeissi Letter, who said they spent 12 months researching Trump's tariff playbook, described this as the fourth step in the trade war.

They expect financial markets to open lower on Sunday evening and Monday, but believe Trump will continue to play "hardball."

Unlike the recent U.S.-China bout, Kobeissi analysts noted the Greenland situation will require more time because such a potential acquisition "can't happen overnight and the EU remains highly opposed to even the idea of such a transaction."

Bitcoin has weathered tariff battles before. The cryptocurrency tumbled from $110,000 to $75,000 during the first trade war that unfolded in April 2025, but has shown more resilience in subsequent conflicts.

More fluctuations are expected as new developments emerge, the EU holds its meeting and futures markets reopen.
