Donald Trump Threatens Tariffs On Nations Opposing US Interests In Greenland

On this edition of India Today Global, anchor Geeta Mohan reports on the escalating tensions regarding the status of Greenland. US President Donald Trump has intensified his stance, suggesting the imposition of trade penalties on nations that do not support American interests in the territory. During his address, Donald Trump stated, 'I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security.' The President emphasised that the strategic importance of the island is a priority for US national defence. This development follows recent diplomatic discussions involving the Denmark Foreign Minister at the White House and subsequent statements from Greenland's administration. Additionally, Donald Trump transitioned to domestic policy, claiming that his administration is significantly reducing healthcare costs by unprecedented margins.
