Trump threatens Denmark with economic retaliation on Greenland

US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened “very-high” tariffs on Denmark if it resists his effort to take control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.

Asked on Tuesday if he would rule out using military or economic force in order to take control of the strategically-important island, he said: “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two.”

“I can say this, we need them for economic security,” he said.

Trump’s remarks came as his son, Donald Trump Jr, visited Greenland on the same day.
