"This, the US president said on Truth Social, would increase to 25pc from June 1, until a "deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland." "These countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable," Mr Trump said. "Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question," he added."
"Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee has said US president Donald Trump's decision to threaten further tariffs on some European countries as "completely unacceptable". Mr Trump said imports to the US from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland would be subject to a 10pc tariff from February 1. This, the US president said on Truth Social, would increase to 25pc from June 1, until a "deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.""
President Donald Trump threatened to impose 10% tariffs from February 1, rising to 25% from June 1, on imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland until a deal is reached to buy Greenland. Mr Trump described those countries as "playing this very dangerous game" and said strong measures were necessary "to protect Global Peace and Security." Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee called the move "completely unacceptable" and "deeply regrettable." Ireland was not initially listed for tariffs, the EU may respond collectively, and the French president said he will not be "intimidated."
