Germany Says Trump Reached Red Line With Greenland Threat

US President Donald Trump reached a red line with his threat to hit NATO allies with additional tariffs for opposing his bid to annex Greenland, Germany’s finance chief said as he urged Europe to prepare its strongest trade countermeasure in response.

“We are constantly experiencing new provocations, we are constantly experiencing new antagonism, which President Trump is seeking, and here we Europeans must make it clear that the limit has been reached,” German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil told reporters in Berlin Monday.
