00:05until the United States is allowed to buy Greenland.

00:14on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and the United Kingdom.
00:20He adds the tariffs would increase to 25% on June 1 and would continue until a deal was reached for the U.S. to purchase the island.
