Trump continues to push to acquire Greenland | Here’s what you should know

(ASSOCIATED PRESS) Denmark’s foreign minister said Wednesday that a “fundamental disagreement” over Greenland remains with President Donald Trump after talks in Washington with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The two sides, however, agreed to create a working group to discuss ways to work through differences as Trump continues to call for a U.S. takeover of Denmark’s Arctic territory of Greenland.

Trump is trying to make the case that NATO should help the U.S. acquire the world’s largest island and says anything less than it being under American control is “unacceptable.”

Denmark has announced plans to boost the country’s military presence in the Arctic and North Atlantic as Trump tries to justify his calls for a U.S. takeover of the vast territory by repeatedly claiming that China and Russia have their designs on Greenland.

Before talking protests in Iran and whole milk, Trump signed two executive orders on tariffs.

The president said one order would impost a 25% tariff on imported semiconductors that are not used domestically.

He said China wanted to sell semiconductors that way, adding, “We’re going to be making 25% on the sale of those chips, basically. So, we’re allowing them to do it. But the United States is getting 25% of the chips in terms of the dollar value.”

The second order Trump signed dealt with tariffs being imposed on critical minerals.
