President Trump threatened tariffs over Greenland.
TheWkly Analysis
Yesterday, Trump said he “may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with” his push to acquire the Arctic island, which is a semiautonomous Danish territory. Previously, he’s offered to purchase the strategically important icy expanse from Denmark—and hasn’t ruled out taking it by force, drawing sharp rebukes from Denmark, Greenland itself, and other European allies. Now, he says he might turn to tariffs to make Greenland American, likening it to how he used tariff-threat diplomacy to get countries to pay more for prescription drugs. Earlier this week, Denmark and the US agreed to start a working group to resolve the issue of Greenland, over which Denmark said the two sides have a “fundamental disagreement.”
