Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.
We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently.
This is just a small start of his ramblings and man, he’s taking some good drugs there because how hard do you have to be tripping balls to even remotely believe any of that shit.
Literally every word is a lie there and it just gets worse
Can please the entirety of Europe just stop trading with the US at all? Just make every company move away from the US.
Trading with the US right now is a horrible idea. Depending on the US ever again in the future is a very bad idea.
Not sure we care anymore, since the free trade agreement between EU and Mercosur was signed today. We don’t really need to trade with the US anymore. South America provides a huge export market for our products, and they supply better quality agricultural imports than the US can anyway.
That would be a good opportunity to throw the EU-US trade deal negotiated last year into the dustbin, since Trump has already violated it with the tariffs and no one in the EU was happy with it anyway. They only accepted it at the time because they were afraid of the U.S. ceasing to support Ukraine otherwise. Well, the U.S. doesn’t support Ukraine anymore anyway.
It’s time for the EU to drop the anti-circumvention laws pushed onto them (and other countries) through trade deals long ago. It’ll enable a true right to repair, as well as resilience against foreign influence by being able to inspect and replace firmware and software.
While they’re at it, maybe reduce copyright after death too.
Cory Doctorow is right!
New EU deal with China coming in 3… 2… 1…
I think we all should start treating the USA as russia and accept the fate of the world. China doesn’t look that bad now. At least they keep their genocides inside their border.
For the next 10 seconds before they invade taiwan
- China has not used their military offensively for the past like 30 years, I don’t see why start now
- Xi has said repeatedly that he will not use military force and instead will use the existing economic and cultural ties to push re-integration
- If they invade Taiwan militarily they risk a nuclear war, definitely will suffer heavy casualties, will destroy the world’s economy (which will hurt them a lot as well), and the only thing they would gain is a pile of burning ash. There is no practical reason to do it and you can call Xi many names but not impractical.
China hasn’t been directly involved in anything even resembling a genocide since the death of chairman mao at least. There are human rights abuses and questionable decisions (such as not sufficiently opposing the ongoing gaza genocide) but nothing compared to the horrors on earth supported by US and some european countries right fucking now.
I don’t know any EU countries harvesting organs from a whole ethnic group while simultaneously enslaving them.
China is benefiting greatly from the old orange felon’s blunders.
I have something of a game going on where every time the US peeves me off, I delete something that profits them.
Trump threatens Greenland? I delete Deviantart
Trump threatens Canada? I delete Reddit
The ICE shooting? I delete Instagram
After hearing about this I just deleted Brave Mobile and switched to Vivaldi. If it stays this consistent I’m going to have to save up for an Ubuntu Touch phone.
So US Americans have to pay a tax to punish them ?
Dude, he convinced half our country that tariffs were going to make us all wealthy despite the fact that anybody with a 5th grade education can look up the definition of a tariff and know better.
Of fucking course he is.
Yes. Abusers can’t go after stronger opponents so they hurt those without the power to harm him. It’s basically his entire political strategy at this point.
I’d call it malice towards his constituents, but I’m still not convinced he actually understands how tariffs work.
I mean… They might somewhat hurt us, too.
Say we send product X and charge $10 and another country`s product charges $10.50. When there’s a 10% tax, we now need to charge $11 and might lose sales. But the question is whether 10% is enough of a deterrent (and whether there are viable alternatives from other countries for the US)
All true, but you know: The US puts tariffs on everyone, everyone else “only” has to deal with the US. We even just made a new trade deal with half of South America. That has to be worth something, if we have to cut off the US?! Well, in practice it is now complicated because our politicians are a bit slow to recognize that the US might not be the strong partner anymore, that we had for the last 80 years. But even they will get there eventually, I hope
I agree, but again, I think you’ve put far more thought into it than he has.
in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures [must] be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question.
Well, he is right about one thing: In order to protect global peace and security, strong measures should be taken— against his warmongering and imperialism.
lol he’s still talking about tariffs as if it’s something anyone but AMERICANS have to pay
republicans are so fucking stupid
Well in the short term yes. Americans pay the tariifs , yet it does hurt the World Economy and European exports too.
In the medium/ long run smart people decouple economically, and take their business elsewhere. Like EU w / Canada, Australia, Mercosur, Asia, Japan etc. And that’s when it will really hurt the USA.
It hurts EU exports only to the extent where the US can subsidize EU imports with something else. For example you can only get Ozempic from Denmark so that’s just a 10% tax on Ozempic because it’s going to be imported regardless.
You can get tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) from Eli Lilly & Co; which is a combined GLP-1- and GIP-agonist, and is slightly more efficacious than semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) for weight loss. The main reasons to choose semaglutide over tirzepatide is if the patient has established cardiovascular disease without diabetes, because there is evidence for it reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in that population; or if the patient really prefers a pill to an injectable.
The point being… there are alternatives to Ozempic in the US by American companies. I also think you mean “substitute”, not “subsidize”.
Trump doesn’t honor any agreement he signs, why even bother with trade agreements with USA anymore.
China atleast is as consistent as you could ever ask for. If both nations attack their own citizens and limit free speech then why even bother with America anymore. I would trust China far more than America currently.
That’s a bad take IMO, North Korea can be as stable as you want, it’s not a country I’d “trust”.
But I see why we’ll continue commerce with china.
North Korea is not stable as its economy relies on USSR and later China
They didn’t say NK was stable, they said no matter how stable it still wouldn’t be a trustworthy partner.
These countries should wear this badge with honour.
According to some rumours , could be that the European Parliament won’t rectify the EU-USA Trade deal for now, if there is sufficient momentum (i.e outrage). Wondering how that’s developing.
Please note when he talks about the Golden Dome, he means that he needs Greenland to protect Mar-a-Lago from ICBM nuclear strikes.
Over the past decade the US has shown that they think they can take down Russia’s ICBMs in the event of an all-out nuclear war, and thus Mutually Assured Destruction is no longer a thing. But it’s predicated on early warning systems and bases that can intercept potentially hundreds of missiles. That’s why he wants Greenland.
So in his scenario Denmark becomes the Glowing Sea and Mar-a-Lago becomes some absurd Fritzl bunker for Ivanka.
yeah lets cut all tie to this bully state. It’s overdue anyway.
Let’s start dumping US debt.
