BBC Expert Says Donald Trump May Be 'Looking For A Way' To Back Down Over Greenland

Donald Trump speaks to reporters before boarding Air Force One on Monday.

A BBC expert says Donald Trump may be “looking for a way” to back down on his threat to impose tariffs on the UK and seven other European countries for opposing his plan to take over Greenland.

Reports suggest that the US president may have misunderstood why the countries sent military representatives to the Arctic island in recent days.

In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump said they had done so “for purposes unknown”.
