Greenland Protests Trump's 'For Sale' Remark; EU Rejects Tariffs

  • US President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on eight European countries, threatening to increase it to 25% if a deal for Greenland's purchase isn't reached.
  • The European Union and Britain strongly condemned Trump's tariff decision, calling it wrong and a threat to transatlantic relations.
  • Greenland saw massive protests, with citizens and Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen taking to the streets, chanting "Greenland is not for sale."
  • European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, António Costa, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Ulf Kristersson, emphasized unity and defense of sovereignty.
  • EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas warned that tariffs would jeopardize economic prosperity and benefit China and Russia by creating rifts among allies.

Why It Matters: Greenland and European nations united against Trump's tariffs and 'for sale' comments, asserting sovereignty and rejecting blackmail.
