Trump threatens tariffs for countries that oppose Greenland takeover

Donald Trump is considering placing tariffs on countries that do not support his plan to annex Greenland.

The US president has been vocal about his aspiration to acquire the Danish territory, repeatedly saying that he would buy it, and failing to rule out military action to take the island by force.

“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Mr Trump said during a roundtable at the White House on Friday.
