Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

Heads of state across Europe respond in solidarity with Denmark and Greenland, and boycott of World Cup suggested

Donald Trump threatened a 25% tariff on a slew of European countries including Denmark, Germany, France and the UK - until the US is allowed to purchase Greenland, in an extraordinary escalation of the president's bid to claim the autonomous Danish territory.

In a lengthy post on Saturday on Truth Social, Trump said he would impose a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland beginning 1 February, on any and all goods sent to the United States of America".
