In a lengthy Truth Social post, he said “Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown”, adding: “This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet.”
The US president said 10% tariffs will be imposed on all goods the countries export to the United States from 1 February, followed by a 25% rate from 1 June.
“This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” he added.
Trump reiterated his warning that “China and Russia want Greenland”, saying “there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it”.

Awww, the Bullshitter-and-Bully-in-Chief isn't happy.
LOL at him saying those countries "journeyed" to Greenland (what century is he living in?) "for purposes unknown."
He's such an ass, and an embarrassment not just to the US, but to the entire human race.
EDITING to add a Bluesky post with a screenshot of the WH idiot's Truth Social post:
Trump: "Starting Feb 1, all above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, & Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff. On June 1, it will be increased to 25%. It will be due until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."
