Canada’s main stock index declined on Tuesday after renewed tariff threats from US President Donald Trump toward European allies over the situation with Greenland sparked a wave of global risk aversion. The mining segment was the only market to see any real growth on the TSX.
US markets also posted significant losses as President Trump escalated his remarks regarding Greenland, warning of additional tariffs against countries resisting the proposed US purchase of the Danish territory.
