Trump flexes tariff threat over Greenland

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will charge a new 10% levy on
goods imported from key European allies because of their opposition
to his proposed takeover of the autonomous Danish territory

Jan 17: Trump (right) says 10% tariff would take
effect on Feb 1 Òon any and all goodsÓ sent to U.S.
from eight countries, but rate could rise to 25%
on Jun 1 if no deal was reached for Òthe Complete
and Total purchase of GreenlandÓ
