Trump floats new tariffs in push to acquire Greenland [View all]
President Donald Trump said Friday he may impose tariffs on countries “if they don’t go along with Greenland.”
“We need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” Trump said at the White House.
The comments show Trump considering applying tariffs, one of his favorite tools for leveraging his executive power over foreign countries, to his increasingly aggressive efforts to acquire Greenland for the United States.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for additional information on Trump’s remarks.
