What tariffs is President Trump proposing for Greenland and European countries?
He says he'll use tariffs to get Greenland. I'm Carmen Roberts, Fox News. President Trump says he would impose tariffs on eight European countries unless Denmark agrees to, in his words, the complete and total purchase of Greenland. GOP Senator Pete Ricketts tells Fox News that he agrees with the president that the Danish territory is essential to U.S. national defense.
This is just the beginning of talking through where we can end up. But it's very clear that we needed to protect ourselves. We need to be able to invest and have certainty with regard to those investments to be able to protect our northern flank. And I believe that's what the president is pursuing, to be able to make sure that he keeps Americans safe.
The president says next month he would slap 10 percent tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands and Finland. And if there is no deal by Greenland by June, he would raise the tariffs to 25 percent.

So far, they say there have been 100 targets that have been hit all over Syria related to ISIS targets.
