Scott Bessent argued that Trump is “looking beyond next year to what could happen for a battle in the Arctic.”
Global markets are facing volatility after President Donald Trump vowed to slap tariffs on eight European nations until the U.S. is allowed to buy Greenland, injecting fresh trade uncertainty as stocks slid and the dollar broadly weakened.
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland are casting a united front after Trump threatens tariffs.
In a joint statement, leaders of eight countries said they stand in "full solidarity" with Denmark and Greenland. Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen added: "Europe will not be blackmailed."
