New York, January 17 (Xinhua) — The United States will impose a 10 percent tariff on all goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland starting February 1 due to the situation around Greenland. US President Donald Trump announced this on Saturday.
As D. Trump wrote on social media, this tariff rate will increase to 25 percent on June 1 and will remain in effect until a deal is reached on the purchase of Greenland by the United States.
The US president's statement came after several NATO members, including Britain, France and Germany, which oppose the US attempt to acquire Greenland, sent their troops to the Arctic territory this week and launched diplomatic activity on the issue.
According to D. Trump, the United States must take control of Greenland to protect its own national security. –0–
