Trump Announces Tariffs On 8 Countries Until U.S. Controls Greenland
"This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
US President Donald Trump announced Saturday that multiple European countries would face a tariff on all goods sent to the United States until the U.S. secures a deal for "the Complete and Total purchase" of Greenland. "World Peace is at stake!" he wrote on Truth Social, adding that both China and Russia "want" Greenland, which is now a territory of Denmark. "They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently," he quipped. "Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown," he continued, citing countries that have sent troops to Greenland amid Trump`s repeated threats of a U.S. takeover. He then declared that beginning Feb. 1, the countries he listed would be facing a "10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States," which will be increased to 25% in June. "This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland," he wrote. The post comes a day after Trump publicly mulled over using tariffs to punish countries that didn`t support his Greenland grab. "I may put a tariff on countries if they don`t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security," he said Friday at an unrelated event on rural health care. Earlier this month, Trump told reporters at the White House the U.S. would "do something in Greenland, whether they like it or not." He also stated, "I would like to make a deal the easy way but if we don`t do it the easy way, we`re going to do it the hard way."
