As President Donald Trump proclaimed tariff measures aimed at purchasing Greenland, Democrats are reportedly moving to block the effort.

Overnight, President Trump wrote on his Truth Social account, "For decades, the United States has not imposed tariffs on Denmark and European Union (EU) countries—effectively providing subsidies," adding, "Now it is time for Denmark to pay the price." He also claimed that "China and Russia want Greenland, and Denmark has no means to stop them."
He said that starting Feb. 1 the U.S. will impose a 10% tariff on all goods exported to the United States by those countries, and will raise it to 25% starting June 1.
