Trump doubles down on Greenland tariffs threat

President Trump has warned 8 European countries of further tariffs should they block the U.S. from acquiring Greenland by June. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, says European leaders will eventually be convinced the move is beneficial to the collective security of all NATO members. However, EU leaders will hold an emergency summit this week where French President Macron is expected to urge the bloc to launch almost €100bn of retaliatory tariffs and to employ its anti-coercion trade ‘bazooka’ instrument against Washington. China achieves its 5 per cent GDP growth target for 2025 thanks to booming exports but moribund domestic consumption weighs on the data. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
