Trump Vows 100% Tariffs on Greenland, EU Warns It Will "Hold Our Ground"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump says he will definitely impose tariffs on Greenland if he wins the November election. He first threatened the taxes last week, targeting the island's key exports like fish and minerals. The European Union has now responded. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated the bloc will protect its interests. Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, which is an EU member. "We have no interest to pick a fight, but we will hold our ground," Kallas said. Trump's proposed tariffs are part of his broader trade policy vision. He argues they are necessary to protect American industries. The move would significantly impact Greenland's economy. The EU's statement signals a potential future trade dispute if Trump returns to power.
