The eight European countries targeted by U.S. President Donald Trump for a 10% tariff for opposing American control of Greenland have criticized the move in an unusually strong joint statement, warning that his threats “undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral.” Trump’s threat sets up a potentially dangerous test of U.S. partnerships in Europe. Several European countries have sent troops to Greenland in recent days, saying they are there for Arctic security training. The Republican president appeared to indicate that he was using the tariffs as leverage to force talks over the status of Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.
Republican lawmakers are scrambling to contain President Donald Trump’s threats of taking possession of Greenland. Some are showing the most strident opposition to almost anything Trump has done since taking office. But it’s not clear that will be enough as the president continues to insist that he will take control of the Arctic island. It’s raised fears of an end to NATO. It also raises questions on Capitol Hill and around the world about what Trump’s aggressive foreign policy will mean for world order. A bipartisan group of lawmakers traveled to Denmark to try to tamp down the prospect of a conflict between the U.S. and European allies.
“60 Minutes” says it will air a report Sunday on Trump administration deportations, a version of which was abruptly pulled from its broadcast a month ago. The network announced less than two hours before its broadcast that correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi's report about migrants sent to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison would air, giving no immediate details on how it was changed. CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss pulled the report shortly before its planned Dec. 21 broadcast, saying it needed to better reflect the Trump administration's view. At the time, Alfonsi told her colleagues that she believed that the decision was made for political reasons, not editorial ones.
