Expressing support for Denmark and Greenland, Finnish President Alexander Stubb stressed that disputes between allies must be resolved through dialogue and shared rules rather than political or economic pressure.
United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer has strongly condemned US President Donald Trump's threats to impose tariffs on European nations over Greenland, calling the move "completely wrong."
On Saturday, Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Denmark and other European countries unless they agree to sell Greenland. In his post, Trump claimed the move is necessary for national security, citing China's and Russia's interest in the territory.
Following US President Donald Trump's warning to impose tariffs on Denmark and other European countries over the sale of Greenland, the European Union has called for a pause to the ratification process of the EU-US trade deal announced back in July 2025.
French President Emmanuel Macron strongly opposed US President Donald Trump's tariff threats on France and other European Union countries over Greenland, calling them "unacceptable" and vowed to respond in a united and coordinated manner.
Hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 10 per cent tariffs on Denmark and other European Union countries, EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen stated tariffs undermine "transatlantic relations" and "risk a dangerous downward spiral."
He threatened 10% tariffs on several European nations, escalating to 25% if they opposed the acquisition, stating it was "time for Denmark to give back" after years of US support.
Trump has repeatedly asserted that Greenland is important to safeguard the US from Russia and China's presence in the Arctic Ocean, and has demanded that the Kingdom of Denmark sell the self-governed territory.
"The President has made his priority quite clear. He wants the United States to acquire Greenland. He thinks it is in our best national security to do that," Leavitt said.
Speaking at the White House during a signing ceremony, Trump said, "We need Greenland for national security, so we are going to see what happens. We have a very good relationship with Denmark."
