US President Donald Trump has announced a 10 per cent tariff on all goods sent from the UK to the US, following troops being sent to Greenland.
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump criticised action taken by the UK, as well as France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden.
He wrote: “These countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable.”
Trump added: “Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question”.
The tariffs — which will come into force on February first — will remain in place until a deal is agreed for the US to acquire Greenland, Trump said.
The announcement comes days after European countries, including the UK, sent small number of military personnel to Greenland as part of plans for a “larger and more permanent” NATO presence to secure the island.
Trump has repeatedly made his case for the US to buy Greenland in order to, he claims, protect it from being taken by Russia or China.
In his post, the US President said: “Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important”.
