Not wishing to cause alarm, but isn't it just as likely to have a

Donno to be honest but the mid Atlantic rift is a spreading zone not a
subduction or sliding one. It's the latter areas that give rise to the
large earthquakes required to trigger tsunamis.

Any coast is at some risk from tsunamis but as always it's is a
balance between risk and early warning. Those areas surrounding
oceans/seas that contain significant undersea tectonic activity are at
the most risk, like the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
