  • Trump threatened 10-25% tariffs on these countries if his goal of acquiring Greenland is not met, citing national security.
  • European leaders condemned the threats as 'unacceptable' and 'completely wrong,' with Denmark calling the announcement a 'surprise'.
  • Protests erupted in Greenland and Denmark, with thousands marching in Nuuk chanting 'Make America Go Away' and 'Greenland is not for sale'.
