Donald Trump suggested on Friday that he may punish countries that do not back the US controlling of Greenland with tariffs as a bipartisan Congressional delegation visited the Danish capital, Copenhagen, to display unity and ease tensions.
The US president has for months insisted that Washington should control Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, citing national security reasons. Earlier this week, Trump said that anything other than Arctic island being in US hands is “unacceptable”.
