DOHA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is “concerned” about U.S. “escalation” on its push to buy Greenland after it hit eight European nations opposed to the U.S. purchasing the self-governing Danish territory with the threat of tariffs.
President Donald Trump says that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland will face a 10 per cent tariff starting Feb. 1.
Trump says that tariff will climb to 25 per cent on June 1 if no deal was in place for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland” by the United States.
