Trump Threatens Denmark With High Tariffs Over Greenland, Citing National Security
Jan 7, 2025, 06:33 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has threatened Denmark with 'very high' tariffs if it does not relinquish control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory. Trump argued that the U.S. needs Greenland for national security purposes, questioning Denmark's legal rights over the island. He stated that if Denmark has any legal right to Greenland, it should give it up for the sake of the 'free world.' Trump's comments came during a news conference where he also mentioned the presence of Russian and Chinese ships around Greenland, emphasizing the strategic importance of the island. Additionally, Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland on the same day, though he described the trip as a personal day trip without any planned meetings with government officials.
