Trump mulls tariffs to pressure allies on Greenland bid

Trump said he may apply tariffs to countries that oppose his plan to annex Greenland, arguing U.S. control of the Arctic island would serve national security and NATO interests. He did not name targets. Denmark and Greenland oppose the move, while European allies such as France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway and Sweden are deploying military personnel to Nuuk and expanding presence. A CNN poll shows only about 25% of Americans support U.S. control of Greenland, and although a Supreme Court ruling could affect tariffs, the president has other means to press for cooperation.
