Details
China and Russia are probably having a great time. They are the ones who benefit from disagreements between allies. If Greenland's security is threatened, we can resolve this issue within NATO. Tariffs risk making Europe and the US poorer and undermining our shared prosperity.
She also added that the dispute should not be allowed to distract from the main task - helping to end Russia's war against Ukraine.
Recall
US President Donald Trump stated that he would impose 10% tariffs on NATO countries - including Great Britain, France, and Germany - that have stationed troops in Greenland amid US threats to take control of the Arctic island.
