Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says “Europe won’t be blackmailed” by Donald Trump’s tariff threats over Greenland, the BBC reports.
She and other European leaders issued a joint statement on Sunday saying the plan risks a “dangerous downward spiral” with the US.
Early on Monday morning, Trump said, “NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that “you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.” […] Now it is time, and it will be done!!!”
The US president has said he willimpose new taxes on eight US allies in February if they oppose his proposed takeover of the autonomous Danish territory.
