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”

    Asking rhetorically, because he doesn’t care but, does he not know what the repercussions of his actions will entail? He’s already attacked another country, unprovoked and he’s setting himself up to attack yet another, unprovoked. He’s deliberately causing war and daring other countries to do something about it. None of the reasons for why what he’s done to Venezulea add up and none of the reasons he wants Greenland of all places, add up.

    This is a multi-time failed businessman, whose only tactic is to strong-arm people when he doesn’t know how to negotiate or know how to get what he wants in other ways. Nobody should fear Trump because his way of negotiating and making business is nothing short of a laughingstock. There is some cause for concern that this guy is a psycho with climbing dementia, who will tire the country he loosely governs out and try to take everyone with him should he, but will inevitably, fail. Because that’s all he’s great at, is failing and will go full-blown psychopathic because he knows he’s lost.

    He’s no different than Putin who is leaning on the idea of using nuclear warfare should he lose his edge on Ukraine.

        Yup, we’re in the most peaceful time ever.

        Just don’t look at what’s happening in Gaza, Ukraine, Venezuela, soon Greenland and soon Taiwan. Everything is great. /s
