French President Emmanuel Macron rejected Donald Trump's tariff threats, calling them "unacceptable" regarding the Greenland issue. "No intimidation or threat will influence us," the Frenchman emphasized, according to Argentine Noticias Argentinas agency. Macron's statements came in response to Trump's announcement to impose a 10% tariff starting February 1 on all products from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Finland over the Greenland issue, and that he will raise the tax to 25% starting June unless an agreement is reached for the United States to purchase that territory. Greenland, the world's largest island, is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, where Copenhagen maintains control over its defense and foreign policy.
