Washington Threatens Tariffs to Pressure for Purchase of Greenland

U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to impose escalating tariffs on several of America's allies in Europe, in a new escalation of the dispute over the future of Greenland, a territory of Denmark, asserting that these measures will continue until Washington is allowed to purchase the island. Trump explained in a post on his platform 'Truth Social' that a 10 percent tariff will take effect starting February 1 on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and Finland. He added that these tariffs will rise to 25 percent starting June 1 and will remain in effect until an agreement is reached allowing the United States to purchase Greenland.
