Russia and China have united in condemning US President Donald Trump's aggressive campaign to acquire Greenland, with Moscow declaring that resolving the issue would make Trump 'go down not only in US history, but in world history as well', while Beijing accused Washington of using the 'so-called threat from China' to pursue its own interests. The rare alignment comes as Trump escalates his standoff with NATO allies, threatening 10 per cent tariffs on eight European countries unless they facilitate America's purchase of the Danish territory.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russia's TASS news agency on Monday that Trump would become a historic figure if he succeeded in acquiring Greenland, adding that it was 'difficult to disagree with these experts', without commenting on whether such a move would comply with international law.
