Trump has threatened to impose a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, which would come into force on 1 February, but could later rise to 25% – and would last until a deal was reached.

The US president insists Greenland is critical for US security and has said previously that Washington would get the territory “the easy way” or “the hard way”.
Greenland is a sparsely populated but resource-rich and its location between North America and the Arctic makes it well placed for early warning systems in the event of missile attacks and for monitoring vessels in the region.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday told NBC News’ Meet the Press that “Greenland can only be defended if it is part of the US, and it will not need to be defended if it is part of the US”.
“I believe that the Europeans will understand that this is best for Greenland, best for Europe and best for the United States,” he said.
