The president has been obsessed with annexing Greenland, and his administration has pointedly said that military force is not off the table. Greenland, with a population of 57,000, is part of Denmark, a NATO ally. Attacking a NATO member nation would require all NATO nations to join in their defense.A 2025 poll found that 85% of Greenlanders do not want to join the U.S. Tariffs are taxes on imported goods that are ultimately passed along to the consumer. The president has repeatedly claimed that several hundred billion dollars in tariffs have been collected so far, although its not clear if his numbers are reliable.
