President Donald Trump has announced the United States would impose 10% tariffs on multiple European countries unless Denmark agrees to the “complete and total purchase of Greenland,” warning that global security and U.S. national defense were at stake.
Trump made the announcement in a lengthy Truth Social post on Saturday, arguing that the U.S. has subsidized Denmark and other European Union nations for decades by failing to charge tariffs and providing what he described as “maximum protection.”
