President Donald Trump said Friday that he would consider adding higher tariffs to countries that oppose his plan to take over Greenland.

Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.

"This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

US president says eight countries to face tariffs over opposition to US control of semi-autonomous Danish territory.

Trump recently hinted that he may pursue a tariff strategy on Greenland similar to the one he used to force foreign countries to change their drug prices.

"On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown."

Donald Trump said he will impose a 10% tariff—that will rise to 25%—on European countries that don’t support his controversial plan to take over Greenland.

The US president says several European allies opposed to his plans to buy Greenland will face 10% tariffs from February.
