President Trump announces plan to hit UK, Denmark and other European countries with extra tariffs over Greenland

Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1st February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland

Trump framed this move as leverage to pressure Denmark and other NATO allies to agree to sell the Arctic territory of Greenland to the U.S. — a deeply controversial proposal.

Leaders in Europe have condemned the threats. Denmark and Greenland insist the territory will not be sold, emphasising self-determination.
