Trump’s Greenland tariffs: What’s Europe’s ‘bazooka’ option to hit back?
AI Summary
US President Donald Trump has renewed his bid for Greenland after threatening a trade war against European countries that oppose his acquisition of the territory. In a message to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Trump hinted that Oslo's failure to award him the Nobel Peace Prize is partly to blame for his stance. Trump has announced plans to impose 10% tariffs on exports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, and Finland starting February 1, which would increase to 25% on June 1. The US wants to acquire Greenland due to concerns about its security, with Trump stating that "the world is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland." Denmark has repeatedly stated that Greenland is not for sale. Norway's government is now considering a "trade bazooka" as a response to the tariff threat.
