Trump threatens to impose tariffs on countries that oppose US claim on Greenland.
United States President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to impose tariffs on countries that do not support US control of Greenland.
The US president did not elaborate on the details, but has said in the past that the United States needs Greenland from a "national security" perspective.
"If they don't go along with Greenland I could put tariffs on them, because we need Greenland for national security," Bloomberg quoted Trump as saying at a White House event on health care.
Trump has insisted for months that the US should take control of Greenland, a self-governing territory that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
However, while the White House has confirmed that "all options are on the table" regarding the US annexing the region, this is the first time that Trump has threatened tariffs on countries that do not support the proposal.
It came a day after European countries sent a small number of troops to Greenland, while Denmark said it was pressing ahead with plans to establish a "larger and more permanent" NATO presence to protect the island, according to Reuters news agency.
The show of support for the region was also to help Denmark prepare military exercises, and was followed by a meeting of officials from the US, Denmark and Greenland.
On Friday, a group of US senators and representatives met with lawmakers in the Danish parliament, according to Bloomberg, with protests against Trump's plans scheduled to take place across Denmark on Saturday.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen has also been attending meetings with members of the US Congress in Washington over the past week, following talks with US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
After talks with Vance and Rubio, Rasmussen said there remain "fundamental disagreements" with Trump over Greenland. According to the AP, during the meetings both sides agreed to form a working group to discuss ways to resolve differences.
