EU leaders are set to hold an emergency meeting in the coming days.

Now, Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark itself, a founding member of NATO.

And Trump is threatening to seize control of the territory, potentially with military force.

Over the weekend, the president slapped a 10 percent tariff on goods from the eight European countries supporting Denmark.

And now we are told the EU is considering the use of retaliatory tariffs on $108 billion worth of U.S.

goods.

Now, despite the threats from President Trump, the foreign minister of Denmark, Lars Rasmussen, said the door remains open to talks with the U.S.

over Greenland.

That is Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen.

Meantime, U.S.

Treasury Secretary Scott Besant dismissed threats from the European Union to halt a tariff deal reached last year with the U.S.

Here is Besant speaking to NBC's Meet the Press.

President Trump said he would soon announce his nomination to replace Fed Chair Jay Powell.

Now, Trump also said he wants to keep Kevin Hassett, the current director of the National Economic Council, in his current role.

Hassett had once been seen as a frontrunner for the Fed chairmanship, and today Hassett told Fox News Trump may be right to pass him over.

Now, the list of candidates to succeed Powell includes Fed Governor Chris Waller, as well as former Governor Kevin Warsh.

And there's Rick Reeder, the CIO of fixed income at BlackRock.

We are told his candidacy has gained momentum.
