European leaders are baffled, as Trump digs his heels in over Greenland. The US President has threatened to impose tariffs on eight allies who remain opposed to his potential takeover of the Danish territory. A10% levy will kick in on February 1, possibly rising to 25% on June 1 – affecting Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands and the UK. Trump has said the import taxes will remain in place until "such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland" by the US. But, what does the United States want with Greenland? And how soon will it be until New Zealand is swept up in this chaos? Today on The Front Page, Waikato University international law professor, Al Gillespie is with us to take us through what could happen next.
