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

[Edgetho]

They trust China more than they trust us now. China is more stable, more focused. Canada just signed a big auto deal with them.

Even for an America-Hating dimocrap scum piece of shit, that's stupid.

Nobody trusts China. Nobody.

Canada is next

 

[WelfareQueen]

He is insane.

America alone.

What's it like to always be wrong about everything? .

Trump and his cult thinks he has the world over a barrel. They are ignorant.

Trump is merely righting decades of abuse and exploitation of America's benevolent nature. From Eurotrash skimping on defense spending to trade imbalances that have weakened us and our security.

Canada just signed on to become the tech guinea pigs for Chinese spy technology. What a bunch of idiots.

Taiwan has reached an agreement with the US for a $500 billion investment project in return for a tariff reduction from 20% to 15% and tariff waivers during the construction of new factories. (Tom's Hardware)

That amount includes $250 billion of direct investment and $250 billion of credit guarantees by Taiwan's government, but it also includes $100 billion of already-planned investment by TSMC.

dimocraps aren't just scum, they're irredeemably ******* stupid. Not just 'Stupid', I mean ******* stupid

True, but I'm not a Democrat. I'm a registered Republican who voted for Trump in 24.

Basically, Trump wants to do the tariffs because he's having a tantrum. We can all see that. What he should have done was negotiate with NATO, the organisation that the US is part of, and arranged a large NATO base in Greenland made up of all NATO countries, with Greenland's agreement.

Now it's Trump v NATO.

US inflation will go up, the Federal bank will want to raise interest rates, and Trump will sack the top Fed bank boss because he'll disagree with their policy.

Maybe if NATO had paid their dues as promised. Even Obama was angry.

Freeloaders in Europe. America has to help Israel alone as they are surrounded by enemies. Primarily Ukraine even though European nations surround them and have the same GDP as a group as America.

Greenland cannot be defended by 56,000 locals and the Kingdom of Denmark. Honestly, its 2026, what the hell does "kingdom" mean anymore, especially for Denmark.

China is going roll over Europe eventually, America needs Greenland for numerous reasons. If the citizens there receive an offer they like, they are free to vote their independence from Denmark, right?

Thank you for all the hypotheticals. Europe thinks otherwise.

 

[shockedcanadian]

You are correct. The old dying former empires of centuries in the rear view mirror.

Napoleon has been dead for some time and Macron is no substitute or military genius.

The German aspirations of WWI and especially WWII long extinguished.

The U.K are reverting back to centralized control that may one day lead to beheadings in the Town Square again (or just Honour Killings).

In short their spirit is dead and America, and even Canada I would argue, though they don't know it yet; cannot tie their fortunes to these China-First, global socialist low performers.

I wish them well and I wish they would defend what do many who died in their defense fought for. Especially France which had the history as being a proud, free Republic. They contributed greatly to Americas ideals but over the last 30 years have largely abandoned this to prop up low IQ elites.

A real shame that.

All of this aside, it's not up to Europe, it is up to Greenlanders. They have a Right to Self Determination, even Denmark said this.

They have spent countless amounts of money in their influence campaign in Greenland not because they care about Greenland, but they want to keep America silent. They are doing the dirty work of China just as so many there helped the Russians during the Cold War.

 

[The Irish Ram]

We don't need Greenland, and a 10 percent tariff is only going to punish Americans.

Turns out, tariffs are enriching us. Just the opposite of the bullshit you fling around...

 

[Churchill]

Don't buy Eurotrash goods and the tariffs won't effect you. Pretty simple. Any suppliers in the states that don't seek cheaper alternatives are only ripping the consumer off.

Trash like Rolls Royce aero engines?

 

[Seymour Flops]

He is insane.

America alone.

It is always America alone. Either America alone supporting America or America alone supporting America and all of our dependent and protectorate nations.

 

[Churchill]

Turns out, tariffs are enriching us. Just the opposite of the bullshit you fling around...

In 2023 one dollar bought you one euro, today it buys you 0.85 euros.

They want to sell their engines here, they can always manufacture them here.

That would be unsafe, just look at Boeing who make aircraft in the US.

 

[berg80]

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.

Aren't tariffs supposed to be used to remedy unfair trading practices? Not used as retribution by a petty, petulant, doddering moron.

 

[my2¢]

We should be used by now of a President that's not dealing with a full deck.

 

[Mac1958]

Meanwhile:

European Union and Mercosur bloc of South American nations sign landmark free trade agreement
Canada's deal with China signals it is serious about shift from US

Great job, you orange buffoon.

Shouldn't 'democrats' support the acquisition of a place to free it's people from a debauched monarchy? Do you people have no standards at all?

Tariffs are a valid diplomatic strategy. Would you prefer the military option? Make up your minds already.

Trump is serious about the necessity of Greenland. We will see how this ends.

MSN

NUUK, Greenland (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would charge a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations because of their opposition to American control of Greenland.

Trump said in a social media post that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland would face the tariff and that it would climb to 25% on June 1 if a deal is not in place for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland” by the United States.

The threat of tariffs was a drastic and potentially dangerous escalation of a showdown between Trump and NATO allies, further straining an alliance that dates to 1949 and provides a collective degree of security to Europe and North America. The Republican president has repeatedly tried to use trade penalties to bend allies and rivals alike to his will, generating investment commitments from some nations and pushback from others such as China, Brazil and India.

It was unclear how Trump could impose the tariffs under U.S. law, though he could cite economic emergency powers that are currently subject to a U.S. Supreme Court challenge.

Trump said in his Truth Social post that his tariffs were retaliation for recent trips to Greenland by representatives from Britain, the Netherlands and Finland and for general opposition to his efforts to purchase the semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark. He has Greenland is essential for the “Golden Dome” missile defense system for the U.S., and has argued that Russia and China might try to take over the island.

Trump is absolutely correct that we need Greenland but he's going about it all wrong.

lol...yeah like those, I've bought my last one

well, I'm not sure if he is right or wrong but there is another way...greenland has a small populaution under 100k, just flood it with millions of American citizens that refuse to leave and it is ours
