U.S Dollar Supremacy at Risk: Europe's Bond Strategy Vs Trump's Greenland Gamble (Finance Commerce Trending)

Donald Trump Greenland Dispute Sparks European Bond market Sell-Off

European leaders have decided that if Trump does not abandon his insistence on Greenland, they will activate the Sell America strategy meaning all European countries together will start selling U.S. bonds.

Remember what happened in April 2025 Donald Trump imposed tariffs on all countries for the first time. In response, China warned that if tariffs were placed on them, they would begin selling U.S. bonds. Just that statement alone spread panic in the markets, forcing Trump to come out publicly and reassure everyone that “the bond market is okay, everything is fine, don’t panic.

The striking part is that China holds only about $1 trillion worth of U.S. bonds, while European countries collectively hold between $10 to $12 trillion nearly twelve times more than China. If Europe begins selling, the panic will be far greater. That’s why markets are nervous, and this is no empty threat a Danish pension fund has already started selling.

Trump Vs Europe Inside the Greenland Ultimatum and the looming economic war

The American economy already runs on borrowed money, which comes from selling U.S. bonds. The main buyers have traditionally been European countries, China, and Japan. But China and Japan have already stopped buying. If Europe also stops buying and instead starts selling, the supremacy of the U.S. dollar and America’s global dominance could collapse in an instant.
Trump had only one potential savior in this situation the Federal Reserve Chairman, who could print money. But remember, Trump recently launched a criminal investigation against him, closing off that path as well.

Meanwhile, European countries have made this a matter of respect and sovereignty. They are united and unwilling to back down. By raising the Greenland issue, Trump has created a situation where he is trapped: if he backs down against Europe, he will face backlash from voters in the upcoming midterm elections. But if he pursues the issue further imposing more tariffs on Europe and Europe retaliates by selling U.S. bonds, the American economy could be devastated.

When the next election comes, instead of chanting “Make America Great Again,” Trump may be forced to settle for “Make America Again.”
