US President Donald Trump fell back on his favourite punishment - tariffs - on Saturday, to push back against countries that are opposing his bid to take over Greenland. On 1 June, the tariffs will be increased to 25%, the US President said in his post. The tariffs will remain at 25% until a deal regarding "the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland" is finalised, he said. "This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland," Trump has proclaimed. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently," said the US President, mocking the security capabilities of Greenland.
