He threatens to impose tariffs on Denmark if it opposes U.S. interest in Greenland and maintains that NATO partners should increase their financial contributions to 5%. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. has arrived in Greenland to assess local sentiment, stirring controversy over the island's status. Despite Danish leaders emphasizing that Greenland "belongs to its inhabitants," Trump remains steadfast that the "security, strength, and peace" of the United States depend on securing greater influence in strategically valuable regions. Today's statement by Donald Trump is decidedly pro-dollar and supports further strengthening of the currency.
