Giorgia Meloni Deems U.S. Tariffs on Greenland-Related EU Countries as Incorrect

The Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, has expressed disagreement with the tariffs imposed by the United States on EU countries that support Greenland, describing the move as incorrect in response to Washington's claims.

On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a 10% tariff would be imposed starting in February on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Finland, which would later increase to 25% and remain in place until an agreement on the purchase of Greenland by the United States is signed.

“In my opinion, the prospect of increasing tariffs against countries that have decided to support Greenland's security is wrong, and I do not agree with it,” she said to Italian reporters during a visit to South Korea.

According to Meloni, the desire of some European countries to send troops should not be interpreted as an initiative against the United States. “I believe there is a problem of understanding and communication here. I continue to advocate for the role of NATO. This is where we should try to jointly organize deterrent measures against hostile interventions in strategically significant areas,” the Prime Minister explained.
