Did US President Donald Trump threaten to impose a 250% tariff on Norway for winning the most gold medals at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games? The question is causing a buzz on social networks.
An article on
The alleged post read: “Norway is about to win the most gold AGAIN. A country smaller than South Carolina! We pay for their defense through NATO, and they spend it all on wax labs running fluorocarbon power overlays on CLASSIFIED sintered polyethylene base material that you CAN’T EVEN BUY.”
The statement continued: “If Norway does not IMMEDIATELY share its stone crushing models and fluorocarbon protocols with US teams, I will have no choice but to impose a 250% tariff on Norwegian salmon, effective immediately. »
The post ends with Trump’s iconic remarks: MAKE SKIING FAIR AGAIN!!.
However, the post was false because President Trump did not threaten Norway and did not post any skiing-related statements on his Truth Social account.
A community note has now been added to the fake X post, which reads: “This is not a real Donald Trump Social Truth. The original poster even admitted it.”
The user who shared the fake screenshot admitted that the statement was not real but a satire.
