Donald Trump does not exclude the possibility of being able to impose tariffs on countries that do not agree on Greenland. “I could impose tariffs on countries” for Greenland, which “we need for national security,” Trump said.
The president was talking about tariff threats as leverage to secure MFN drug prices before mentioning Greenland. Calling himself the “tariff king”, Trump then added that if the administration did not win in the Supreme Court on tariffs it would be a “shame” for the country.
«Greenland is part of the territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and therefore, in principle, is covered by the mutual solidarity clause referred to in art. 42.7 of the Treaty on European Union”. A spokesperson for the European Commission clarifies this. “However, at the moment the question does not arise,” he adds.
