U.S. Treasury Secretary Criticizes EU's Tariff Retaliation Against Greenland as Unwise

Besant: Retaliatory tariffs on Greenland by Europe are unwise.

According to multiple reports from January 18-19, U.S. Treasury Secretary Besant did indeed publicly state that the EU's considered retaliatory measures against the U.S. "Greenland tariffs" were "very unwise."

Accusing Europe of weakness: "Europeans show weakness, while the U.S. shows strength," and that Europe's security needs protection from the U.S.

He claimed, "Without Greenland becoming part of the U.S., enhancing security is impossible," and linked this to global competition in the Arctic region.

Warning the EU not to retaliate, directly responding to the EU's considered countermeasures, calling them "very unwise."

The Trump administration team had a high degree of consensus on the acquisition of Greenland Island. The toughness of Trump and the support of his team were inseparable from the overall collaboration, sometimes it seemed as if they were pushing the president forward.
