"Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty,"
"These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable,"
"The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that"
President Trump threatened escalating import tariffs on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and Britain unless the United States is allowed to purchase Greenland. He announced a 10% tariff effective February 1, rising to 25% on June 1, to continue until a purchase deal is reached. He cited Greenland's strategic location and large mineral deposits and has not ruled out using force. European leaders warned such tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral and affirmed unity and sovereignty. Several nations sent military personnel to Greenland at Denmark's request; Ireland was not included in the immediate threat.
