Trump announces 10% tariffs on NATO nations that send military forces to Greenland. Really!

I don't think this is a good or smart idea by President Trump! Generally speaking it is a welcome sign if more NATO member countries send troops to Greenland!

Why does President Trump insist on a "Complete and Total purchase of Greenland"! I don't it makes much sense! Possibly a long term lease of parts of Greenland would probably suffice!

"... In a post on Truth Social, Trump named Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland as the targets of the tariffs, which are set to begin on February 1, 2026. He added that the tariff rate would increase to 25% starting June 1 and would remain in place "until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland." ..."
