The 2026 Shakedown: Greenland, Tariffs, and the Dome

How Trump is Neutralizing the EU Space Act

As of late January 2026, the "Orbital Civil War" has moved from the laboratory to the boardroom. The Trump administration has identified the EU Space Act as the single greatest threat to the Golden Dome, and the strategy to kill it is simple: Economic Coercion.

The 2026 Tactical Manual:

  • The Greenland Pivot: By pressuring Denmark and the EU over Greenlandic territory, the U.S. is forcing a trade: Drop your "Zero Debris" standards, or lose your Arctic security.
  • The Tariff Hammer: The mid-January threat of 25% tariffs on European nations was specifically timed to jitter the markets and force the EU to "rethink" its space regulations.
  • Sovereign Immunity: The Dec 2025 Space Superiority Order claims U.S. "national security" assets are immune to European environmental laws—effectively telling Brussels that the Golden Dome is "too big to regulate."

The tragedy of Jan 2026 is the "False Choice." Trump is successfully weakening the EU's regulatory power, but in doing so, he is removing the only "speed bumps" preventing a catastrophic Kessler event.

"We are trading global orbital safety for a temporary strategic advantage."
