‘You’ll Find Out’: Trump’s Answer on Question of Scope of Plans for Greenland

President Trump declined French President Macron's G7 meeting invite and threatened tariffs on European allies over his push to acquire Greenland for security reasons.

  • On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump declined French President Emmanuel Macron's request to attend an emergency G7 in Paris and told reporters `you'll find out` about Greenland, a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
  • Trump framed the move as a national-security necessity and questioned NATO's reliability, arguing Greenland matters `for national security and even world security` and pressing members to raise contributions.
  • In a Truth Social spree over the previous 24 hours, Trump posted an AI-generated image showing U.S. annexation of Greenland and shared a screenshot of Emmanuel Macron's text, then raised the issue at a White House press conference.
  • Markets reacted: the FTSE 100 index fell alongside other European and US exchanges after tariff threats, while Downing Street said Greenland’s future belongs to Greenlanders and Denmark as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer engaged European leaders on Arctic security.
  • With tariffs slated from February 1, Trump warned European allies of 10 per cent tariffs and 200-per-cent duties on French champagne, refusing to rule out military seizure.
