US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened Denmark with “very high” tariffs if it resists his attempts to take control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
Asked Tuesday whether he ruled out using military or economic force to take control of the strategically important island, he said: “No, I can’t assure you of either of those two.”
“I can say, we need them for economic security,” he said.
Trump’s remarks came during a visit by his son, Donald Trump Jr., to Greenland the same day.
