London: U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to implement further tariffs on imports of goods from some European countries until the U.S. is allowed to acquire Greenland, a move that could send a jolt through financial markets when they reopen on Monday.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said additional 10% import tariffs would take effect on February 1 on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and Great Britain — all already subject to tariffs imposed by Trump. Major EU states on Sunday decried the tariff threats against European allies as blackmail, as France proposed responding with a range of previously untested economic countermeasures.
