Trump Threatens Tariffs to Buy Greenland

Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 10% tariff on eight European countries, including Denmark, unless an agreement is reached for the sale of Greenland to the United States. Trump views Greenland as a potential 'investment' and seeks to acquire it without the use of military force. The threat has provoked strong reactions from European countries, who denounce it as an attempt at intimidation and undermining transatlantic relations. Denmark has made it clear that it will not sell Greenland.
