"Donald Trump's 10 per cent tariffs on the UK could have a damaging impact on Britain's economy and potentially tip it into recession, economists believe. The US president threatened to increase the tariff to 25 per cent from 1 June, until a deal is reached to buy Greenland from Denmark. It applies to the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland."
"In his renewed plan for a takeover, he said it was "time for Denmark to give back", adding: "China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it.""
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and chooses not to place reporting behind paywalls, relying on reader donations to support journalists. The outlet sends reporters to speak to multiple sides of developing stories and produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Economists warn that Donald Trump's 10 per cent tariffs on the UK could harm Britain’s economy and risk tipping it into recession, with the president threatening to raise the tariff to 25 per cent until a deal is reached to buy Greenland from Denmark. Several European countries signalled solidarity with Denmark ahead of emergency diplomatic meetings, and UK leadership plans to raise the issue directly with the US administration.
