US President Donald Trump has threatened tariffs with a “very significant destabilising effect”, Ireland’s deputy premier has said as he appealed for “cool heads” in negotiations between the EU and the US.
Mr Trump has said he would impose a 10% tariff “on any and all goods” sent to the US from the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland – all of whom are members of Nato – starting from February and increasing to 25% from June unless Washington is enabled to purchase Greenland from Denmark.
