US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened "very high" tariffs on Denmark if it resists his effort to take control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
Asked during a news conference Tuesday if he would rule out using military or economic force in order to take control of the strategically-important island, he said: "No, I can't assure you on either of those two."
"I can say this, we need them for economic security," he said.
Trump also said he would use "economic force" against Canada and called the US-Canada border an "artificially drawn line".
