Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gar Stere said that "threats have no place among allies," following a proposal by United States President Donald Trump to impose new tariffs on Norwegian exports to the United States, the BBC reports.
"Norway's position is firm: Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark," the Norwegian leader wrote on social media.
He added that there is a "broad consensus" within NATO on the need to strengthen Arctic security - including Greenland.
Trump announced earlier today that he would impose a 10 percent tariff on goods imported from eight European countries starting in February, due to opposition to Washington's treatment of Greenland, Beta news agency reports.
He announced in a post on his social network Truth Social that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland will face new tariffs, which will be increased to 25 percent from June 1 if an agreement is not reached on the US's "complete and complete purchase of Greenland."
