Donald Trump has declared that if Denmark does not “give back” Greenland, world peace is at stake. So, for the administration to save the “world at large,” Trump has ordered a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland starting Feb. 1.
If a deal isn’t reached by Jun. 1, Trump suggests raising the tariffs on NATO allies to 25%. Trump’s reasoning for why the US needs to annex Greenland is that China and Russia are also targeting the land, which could risk giving those nations a tactical advantage over the US.
