Trump to hit Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland with tariffs over Greenland

Donald Trump has announced tariffs on the UK and other European countries for their opposition to a US takeover of Greenland.

The US president posted on Truth Social on Saturday that a 10 per cent tariff on all goods sent to the US would be imposed from Feb 1 on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, before being increased to 25 per cent on June 1.

He accused the countries of creating a “very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet” after they sent a small contingent of troops to Greenland to help Denmark prepare military exercises.
