US President Donald Trump has threatened to raise tariffs on eight European countries until they allow the US to BUY Greenland. Trump posted on Truth Social that "starting on February 1st, 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." European leaders have warned against what they call a dangerous downward spiral if the levies are implemented, with the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas replying in a post, "China and Russia must be having a field day. They are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies. If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can address this inside NATO. Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity."
Meanwhile, thousands of people took to the streets in the Greenlandic and Danish capitals on Saturday against Trump's bid to take over the island.

These aren't Tariffs, they're sanctions. The US has just sanctioned Europe in order to try to force a European country to give up territory. Just let that sink in.

Americans pay the tariff on imported goods. Trump is hurting his own people.

All of this has nothing to do with "national security" or even "rare earth minerals," it is all just a distraction tactic to make people forget about the Epstein files.

About time the EU used the so called nuclear option. Sell the bonds, put limits on X, Facebook, Amazon. Screw the US over. No mercy.
