The US President is ramping up pressure on European nations in order to seize Greenland - an autonomous Danish territory.

Donald Trump's threatening escalating tariffs for European nations opposing a US takeover of the Arctic Island, which says it has no interest in being bought.

US correspondent Jonathan Kearsley says Trump wants minerals and resources from Greenland.

"Some of these resources are critical for the construction of missiles and the bolstering of defence resources, so it's critical on that front."
