U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday a 10% tariff on imports from several European countries, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and Finland, amid the dispute regarding Greenland.
Trump clarified that these tariffs will escalate to 25% starting in June, asserting that they will remain in place until an agreement is reached regarding the United States' purchase of Greenland from Denmark.
These statements represent a new escalation in the Greenland issue, which has sparked widespread controversy since Trump proposed the idea of annexing the island to the United States, amid strong rejection from Copenhagen and other European countries.
