Wall Street Sinks As Trump Threatens 8 European Countries With Tariffs Over Greenland

Ee have some of these things, but with limitations. For example, we would like the freedom to expand our military bases and to add new ones. We would like to add bases in other areas of Greenland. Currently, any of these requires political approval. Denmark and Greenland can currently invite other partners in the EU or even China for civilian type projects. We don’t want that. We also don’t have permanent scientific research stations. They currently have limited leases.

There is plenty we can gain and we will.

I still haven’t figured out why the left is so set on not benefitting the US.
Since when is it a problem that we need political approval to create new bases in Greenland and how is a new treaty, which also requires political approval going to fix that? It’s pretty silly.

Not sure why you don’t want the EU to have projects in Greenland, but okay.

You’re acting as though we’d been denied something in Greenland and that’s just not the case.

They want to turn America into Somalia.

We already had that.
You survive off of the semi-rural and rural areas of the nation. Food, energy, transportation, minerals and manufacturing is controlled by them. Yet you are richer and intellectual from your self pronouncements. The Deplorables slowdown your ways of comforts and survival in a huge way.

We have short term leases and we have to jump through political hoops for new bases or presence. We don’t want approval on a case by case basis. Also, what would prevent Denmark of Greenland from negotiating with China and/or Russia? We also want to lead the arctic command.

We also want right of refusal on critical minerals.

There is actually so much more, but again, you refuse to acknowledge any of it.

“Jump through hoops”, like maybe asking if we can have another base? Did you guys think about asking for another base?

As I have explained, it isn’t just about bases. It is about relatively short-term leases and the lack of control. It is about ports. It is about shipping routes. It is about not allowing Denmark or Greenland to form any alliance with China or Russia. If we are going to protect them then we get first rights to purchasing their natural resources.

You guys are the weakest kneed negotiators of all time.

Our base has a 99 year lease, so it’s not about “short term leases”. You’re just saying stuff to make it sound better.

When was there any risk of Denmark and Greenland forming an alliance with China and Russia? (You know, before Trump started acting like a belligerent and threatening them) Also, since they’re sovereign nations, there is no deal we can strike that will stop them from doing so in the future.

Greenland has been open for business for decades but no one has been able to extract their natural resources economically. There isn’t some mad scramble for mineral rights, it’s just that it’s extremely unprofitable.

We ain’t buying Greenland, that’s for sure. Now comes the spin trying to turn that defeat into a “victory” because Trump can never admit he was wrong.

Where did you get the 99 year lease deal? It is actually open ended and started in 1951 and it essentially says the US can operate THIS base for THESE missions. That is far from open ended.

What defeat are you talking about? The fact that we won’t be able to buy Greenland? LOL…the point of all of this bluster was to gain advantages. We will, but you will act as if we didn’t. Pure TDS.

You're right, I mistook a source that proposed a 99 year lease. Was there any risk

You all have such confidence about telling us what the "real point" was all along, but only after the fact. I'm not convinced that Trump wasn't motivated by a desire to buy Greenland which is not going to happen.

It strikes me that he used a lot of bluster (and made us look stupid) to get what we could have had just by asking.
 
And you noticed today that the tariffs were cancelled....

TACO Tuesday happened on a Wednesday this week.

47 actually thought he could intimidate NATO. He saw his Trade Bill with the E.U. going up in smoke.
His grandiose dreams of taking Greenland fizzled.

Regardless what 47 thinks of NATO, regardless of what his cultists think about NATO, it is still a power to be reckoned with. The EU is a power to be reckoned with. His TACO proves he is NOT the power he thought he was. HIs bullying tactics proved nothing. There is NO framework, just more of his empty and meaningless words

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks slumped on Wall Street Tuesday after President Donald Trump threatened to hit eight European countries with new tariffs as tensions escalate over his attempts to assert American control over Greenland.


The losses were widespread, with nearly every sector losing ground. Major indexes in the U.S. extended losses from last week in what has been a wobbly start to the year.

The S&P 500 fell 143.15 points, or 2.1%, to 6,796.86. It is the steepest drop for the benchmark index since October.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 870.74 points, or 1.8%, to 48,488.59. The Nasdaq composite fell 561.07 points, or 2.4%, to 22,954.32.

As Trump plays out his Narcissistic delusions about Greenland, he tanking the U.S. Economy. He has very severe dementia and he will destroy country this to achieve his goal.

Don’t listen to left-wing ideologically driven economists. They aren’t stupid, but they are very pompous. Their hubris won’t allow them to admit that their analysis has been mistaken or this “analysis” has been skewed by their politics.
