"I would not be surprised if parts of Canada will be annexed also," Rasmussen said. The expert called what is happening with Greenland an "unbelievable development." On Saturday, Trump said he would impose a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland in February, which would later increase to 25% and remain in effect until the United States signs a deal on the purchase of Greenland.
