Trump threatens tariffs over Greenland, calls it vital for security
Al Jazeera
Greenland’s location and resources make it vital to US security, Trump argues in his ongoing push for acquisition.
US President Donald Trump says he may impose tariffs on countries that do not support his plan to have the United States control Greenland.
“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Trump said at a health roundtable at the White House.
Since Trump returned to the White House in January, he has repeatedly expressed his desire to take over Greenland, a demand Denmark and many other European nations have rejected.
Trump has said Greenland is vital to US security because of its strategic location and large supply of minerals, and has not ruled out the use of force to take it.
