The market reacted after Trump mentioned Bitcoin and spoke about upcoming regulation. Earlier in the week, prices fell when Trump threatened tariffs on eight European nations while speaking about U.S. plans to acquire Greenland.

Trump Rules Out Force in Greenland Talks

Trump addressed questions about Greenland during the same speech. He said, “I don’t have to use force, I won’t use force.” He called for negotiations and urged Denmark to give up the island for “world peace.”
