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”
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 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.
Whoever the source, some billionaire or government official convinced him it was a good idea and his smoothie brain is going along with it. I just wish the rest of the world didn’t have to literally die as a result of this (his state of mind & ego), but apparently, that’s too much to ask.
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.
