Has US President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 250 percent tariff on Norway for winning the most gold medals at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games? The question has caused a stir on social networks.

The supposed post read: “Norway is about to win the most golds AGAIN. A country smaller than South Carolina! We pay for their defense through NATO, and they spend it all on wax labs running fluorocarbon energy overlays on RATED sintered polyethylene base material that you literally CAN’T EVEN BUY.”
The statement continued: “If Norway does not IMMEDIATELY share its stone grinding patterns and fluorocarbon protocols with US teams, I will have no choice but to impose a 250 percent tariff on Norwegian salmon, effective immediately.”
The post ends with Trump’s signature comments: MAKE SKIING AGAIN!!.
However, the post was false as President Trump did not threaten Norway or post any ski-related statements on his Truth Social account.
A community note has now been added to X’s fake post, saying: “This is not a real Social Truth from Donald Trump. The original poster even admitted it.”
The user who shared the fake screenshot admitted that the claim was not real but satire.
