YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump threatened fresh tariffs on goods from nations that oppose his push to take control of Greenland, stepping up his rhetoric while Denmark hosted US lawmakers on its home turf following meetings in Washington this week.
“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 White House event on health care, without providing further details.
Trump has sought to use his sweeping tariff agenda to pressure other nations to make economic concessions and align themselves with his foreign policy priorities, and on Friday signaled he would include Greenland in that push. The president earlier this week threatened to impose 25% tariffs on goods from countries that trade with Iran, but has yet to follow through.
