Trump declines to specify limits on his pursuit of Greenland
The comments come amid rising tensions between the US and Europe. Trump has renewed pressure on Greenland, citing security concerns, and threatened tariffs on several European nations. He announced a 10% levy on goods from eight countries until a deal for “the complete and total purchase of Greenland” is reached, with the tariffs set to rise to 25% by June if no agreement is made.
The territory, which is self-governing but under Danish sovereignty, has drawn Trump’s attention due to its strategic location in the Arctic, rich mineral deposits, and perceived risks from growing Russian and Chinese activity. Both Denmark and Greenland have firmly rejected any proposal to transfer control, emphasizing that Greenland belongs to its people.
