US President Donald Trump has said he may impose trade tariffs on countries that do not support his plans to take over Greenland.

“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Mr Trump said at the White House.

    He’s basically admitting that his plans may be foiled if other countries don’t support him.

    And they won’t. Tariffs are a much better alternative than risking world war 3. Also the US is already tariffing the shit out of most of the world’s goods anyway.
