Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February
In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”
Oh I see so now he’s angry at everyone. Not that I think that America should be able to get Greenland but even if I did it’s not as if say the UK or France has any say on the matter, so why are they being tariffed?
France, UK and most of Europe are part of NATO and in recent days have sent small military forces to Greenland to show that, unlike the US, they will honour their alliances.
Trump is trying to break NATO because it’s what daddy Putin wants him to do.
I think the numbers are around 50 military personnel from Europe. Hardly a show of force.
It’s not the numbers, yet. It’s the message it sends.
I really don’t think that Trump is taking these orders from Putin. Trump is jealous of Putin’s power and wants to seem stronger so he needs a land-grab to make his pee-pee seem bigger.
Americans are being tariffed…not Europeans.
