US President Donald Trump has said he may impose trade tariffs on countries that do not support his plans to take over Greenland.

“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Mr Trump said at the White House.

    Yeah, no. You know what? I think we’re better off without the US at this point.

      The global community has agency, and it should really start to create plans for things like getting currencies off of the US dollar.

        It is, from moving away from fossil fuels to bilateral trade being done in local currencies (back in the day America would just bomb you, but the dog has lost some fangs) and gold/silver stocking, but it’s a gradual process. The dollar just needs to be highly devalued, I’m sure it’ll continue being the global currency for many many years but not at this price point.
