Trump says 8 European countries will be charged a 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland

[Slade3200]

You said there was no difference in tariffs, so let's see it. My question wasn't that hard.

When did I say there were no difference in tariffs? Quote me, you seem confused

No, I am a patriotic American who desires long-term security. Annexing Canada and Greenland provide that security, along with the resources this country needs or will need in the near future. Resources we will not allow some third rate dependent like Denmark or Canada to extort us for. Especially since their continued existence depends entirely on our military might and the fact we have no choice but to defend them while their own contributions would be paltry in comparison to ours.

Other country's have minerals, oil, food & other items we need.
Its an old want to be the ones who rule the world.
History has shown us, some how it never turns out as we may want it to.

 

[sartre play]

Seriously, ye haven't a ******* clue...

Trump has retreated from the world stage... The only time he does anything internationally, he seems to make US look worse... US under Trump is not trusted, Trump is considered a grifter on the international stage, everything is for sale...

True, you can now BUY your way into America.

You said we weren't being 'taken advantage of', show it.

Which is why the we have the saying , " Be careful what you wish for. "

Global Tariff Context (2023–2024)
Before the major trade policy shifts of 2025, most other nations continued to impose higher average tariffs than the U.S.:

• World Average: The global trade-weighted average tariff was approximately 4.34% in 2023.
• China: Maintained a trade-weighted average of roughly 3.0% to 4.0%.
• European Union: Averaged between 1.6% and 3.0% depending on the specific product category.
• Developing Nations: Countries like Bermuda (23.8%), Cayman Islands (20.4%), and Belize (17.8%) held the highest global rates.

Summary of the "Baseline" (January 2025)
At the start of 2025, the World Bankand Yale Budget Lab baseline for the U.S. was a 2.2% effective rate, meaning the government collected roughly 2.2 cents for every dollar of imported goods.
This baseline changed dramatically throughout 2025. By late 2025 and early 2026, new U.S. measures—including a 34% blanket tariff on China and 20% levies on the EU—pushed the U.S. average effective rate to between 14.5% and 18%, its highest level since the 1930s.

Good for Trump. The Danes would sell us out for a bent penny to the Chinese. Best to get this over with peacefully and move on to bigger things.

You wanna tell that ignoramus Trump the orange jerkoff that Greenland is a territory of Denmark, Not Norway?

We know he's a legend in his own mind, living in his own world but can he at least get something right?

Good for trump if he likes playing the part of the fool. The position he has taken is not rational on any level. And your comment about Denmark is more applicable to trump ; he's sold out our allies on several occasions already.

Hd sold Ukraine out to appease Putin. Plus, he hates Zelensky for refusing to play ball with him in getting dirt on Biden.

We're in the hands of a malignant narcissist.

You mean free healthcare, 5 weeks vacation and free secondary education?

No I mean, forced infertility drugs, taking their infants when they are born and their children, to be raised in Denmark, removing their minerals without paying the owners of the land. Shit like that. They are not at all happy about being under the boot of Denmark.
Read all about it:
The protests also highlight the disturbingly high proportion of Greenland Inuit children in Denmark who are removed from their families by the Danish child welfare system. These children face linguistic and cultural assimilation, risking the loss of their identities and heritage.
In recent years, as many as 5.6 percent of all Greenlandic children in Denmark have been living in care, compared to 1 percent of ethnic Danish children.

It is amazing the people of Greenland want Denmark over the US or should I say trump because he's the one threatening them. " Give in or die. " Never was a good message.

Nah, Trump will make a deal for them that Denmark can't top. We shall see...

That's no way to make a deal. And they're not buying it.

I agree, you have to wonder why some are so concerned that the US is no longer being taken advantage of by tariffs imposed on us, and seem to see that as a bad thing. Shows where their loyalties lie and where they don't.

Democrats. who have no discernable plans to solve any of America's problems, oppose the tariffs simply because they are declared by President Trump and feel no need to know any more about them, but others who oppose Trump's tariffs still believe the lie that free trade will benefit the US economy. The fact is that if everyone were competing on a level playing field, it might, but there are no level playing fields in the real world. President Trump's tariffs help level that playing field for American companies, keeping American jobs here while bringing $200 billion in revenues to lower our budget deficit. The average American citizen may have to pay a few dollars more to buy his next big screen TV, but by buying American, he will be helping himself and his neighbors employed.

Democrats used to be concerned with keeping American workers employed, but since they heard Trump is for it, they are now dead set against it.

Guess what?

They are even more unhappy with Trump
He has driven Greenland back in the arms of Denmark

Not true. NATO aircraft operated from bases in Jordan and Qatar along with ours.

Not true. A few other NATO members joined the US in the Gulf War, but NATO did not.

I disagree with this, trump needs to cool it on the tariffs.

I think republicans are about to impeach and remove trump.

Bacon says he would ‘lean’ toward Trump impeachment if Greenland invaded: ‘Utter buffoonery’

Seems several repubs are not happy with all this Greenland stuff.

Not true. A few other NATO members joined the US in the Gulf War, but NATO did not.

is Germany a member of NATO? Yes. Were German aircraft flying missions in Iraq? Yes.

Was I talking about the Gulf War? No.

Was NATO itself participating as a whole? No. That part is true.

Do you realize just how ridiculous you sound. This is all about Trump's mismanagement , ill use of his office and you're still trying to blame Democrats for the situation. trump created this nightmare. Not the Democrats. He owns this shit.
