"China and Russia must be having a ‌field ‌day. They are the ones who benefit ⁠from divisions among allies," Kallas said in a post on ⁠X in ⁠response to US President ‌Donald Trump's ‌vow to impose tariffs on allies resisting his demand to ‍acquire Greenland.

"Tariffs risk making europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity. If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can ​address this ‌inside NATO."
