Treasury secretary defends Greenland tariffs: 'The national emergency is avoiding the national emergency'

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended President Trump's plan to impose tariffs on imports from eight European countries that oppose his push to acquire Greenland, arguing that the tariffs were justified to avoid a 'national emergency'. The Supreme Court was expected to issue a ruling on Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs. European Union ambassadors will hold an emergency meeting in response to the tariff threat.
