EU expresses shock at Greenland tariffsAP, BERLINEuropeans were reeling yesterday from US President Donald Trump’s announcement that eight countries would face 10 percent tariffs for opposing US control of Greenland. Several European countries have sent troops to Greenland in the past few days, saying they are there for arctic security training. Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen speaks during a protest in front of the US consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, on Saturday. It was not immediately clear if Trump’s tariffs would impact the entire bloc. European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged to continue their full solidarity with Denmark and Greenland.
