US President Donald Trump backed away from his favorite punishment – tariffs – on Saturday to pressure countries that oppose his bid to take over Greenland.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social that starting February 1, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland will be charged a 10 percent tariff on all goods they export to the United States.
On June 1, tariffs will be increased to 25%, the US president said in his post.
“This tariff will be due and payable until an agreement is reached for the full and complete purchase of Greenland,” Trump said.
