Trump Threatens Trade Penalties Over Greenland Acquisition Plan
President TRUMP has warned of potential trade penalties against nations that oppose his plan to acquire Greenland, citing national security concerns. Speaking at a White House healthcare event, Trump drew parallels to his previous use of tariffs in negotiations over prescription drug costs, suggesting a similar strategy could be effective in securing the Arctic territory.
A bipartisan congressional delegation arrived in Copenhagen to demonstrate U.S. support for Denmark and Greenland, coinciding with a European military observation operation over the self-governing Danish territory. The delegation met with Danish and Greenlandic leaders, as well as business executives and members of Denmark's parliament, where the Greenlandic flag was displayed as a symbol of solidarity.
