Emmanuel Macron has hit back at Donald Trump’s latest threats to impose tariffs on any country opposing his Greenland takeover, warning that “no amount of intimidation” will persuade European nations to change their course on Greenland.
He was echoed by the Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, who warned the EU would not be “blackmailed” by the US president, who on Saturday announced 10% tariffs on eight European countries from 1 February, with a further 25% tariff from 1 June.
In a joint statement, EU leaders said “tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral”.
It is highly likely that the European parliament will halt ratification of last summer’s trade deal with the US after Manfred Weber, the head of the European People’s party, the largest voting bloc in the institute, said they would have to pause the legal rubber stamping process.
I think the orange turd bluffed himself into a corner.
First he threatened to take Greenland by force if necessary. Europe didn’t back down and responded by sending troops to Greenland to prepare for possible conflict.
The pedo realised this bluff didn’t work. So now he’s threatening with tariffs again.
Military conflict would have had much worse consequences for both sides than the tariffs. So why would anyone back down for 10% tariffs?
And if anyone learned anything about tariffs in the FSA (Fascist States of America) from 2025 is that they hurt American people just as much, if not more.
Americans don’t want Greenland and they don’t want higher prices.
Let’s see how smart the orange turd is.
Why doesn’t Europe do psyops on Americans like Russia? Christ, as we’ve seen America is very easily manipulated.
Europe doesn’t have a unified intelligence services or anything similar, yet.
They’re planning to establish a joint cyber operations unit to retaliate against Russia.
Once the unit is established, they could and should use it against rogue fascist countries like the FSA (Fascist States of America)
This isn’t something to celebrate, and will only accelerate Europe’s slide into fascism.
Europe is already complicit with many of America’s worst criminal wars and genocides, and giving the governments more “intelligence” power will be used to secure their interests, not yours. More surveillance will never make you more free and secure.
The right has so many they would try to stop you, minimize you. Publicize it and make a big fuss.
You should though. But your own countries will fall under our leadership in the west, without a real popular reform you will fall as well to fake popular reform of a far right backed by the us, russia, billionaires.
Why doesn’t Europe do psyops on Americans like Russia?
What makes you think they don’t?
If they are it’s not working
I dunno. Until very recently Europe at large benefited quite a bit from America’s pro military attitude. I could see European psyops designed to stoke that particular flame.
The best kind of psyops is the kind nobody thinks is even happening. Trying to be subtle in today’s brash politics may not be the best plan though I guess, it takes too long.
We go straight at it. A thing i personally despise very much is this all secret behind the back stuff with misinformation and whatnot.
Personally i think we would do our enemies a favor if we punch their teeth in since the brain gets more oxygen that way and they may come to their senses.
Cringe keyboardwarrior i know but thats my opinion.
Coming from a country where im not even sure we have a secret service.(maybe its just that good 🧐)
If you’re not gonna do psyops, you have to do an even better counter-psyops. Otherwise you will be fucked in the ass without realising it, until you’re bleeding to death and it’s too late.
Just look at how beautifully Russian psyops worked on splitting up the Americunts and pitting them against each other.
Russian psyops have lesser effect in Europe because people in Europe are generally better educated and are also taught in schools about propaganda and fake news and how to recognise those.
what s psyops are we gonna do ? against the first or second amadement ?
Let’s keep all the champagne in EU
And the USA gets real pain.
Champagne for our real allies
Real pain for our sham allies
Well…umm…we’ll retaliate by making it so champagne not produced in the Champagne region of France can still be labeled as “champagne!” T_T
Well, in that case, we can think of some IP laws we can shred in return…
Stop, no. Don’t do it. You’ll make billionaires mad bro don’t do it.
Well, they already seem mad most of the time. Might as well give them a good reason to be.
Kick all US personnel out of Greenland.
FACT: TACO
Do whatever you want, France. Trump will chicken out. Nothing else is as for sure other than that.
TACO is for things that could hurt the stock market or the the profits of capital. It literally comes from Wall Street traders.
TACO is not for Trump being reckless and cruel. He bombed Iran, he bombed fishing boats, he kidnapped a leader of a sovereign country, he has built concentration camps and is sending his SS troops door to door.
You best hope enough wealthy capitalist convince him not to invade Greenland. Because that’s the only reason he won’t. Don’t expect fascist to not take easy “wins” of cruelty to show power when they can.
Fascist only back down when their capitalist owners tell them to OR when there is a chance they could be resisted and seen as weak.
It started on Wall Street, but they simply picked up on the trend because it’s an industry of people looking at trends and patterns all day to place bets.
He chickens out on all sorts of policy things when he doesn’t delegate it to ghouls that feed on the cruelty. He keeps acting like he’s going to be tough on the EU, and then folds.
However, to your point, wealthy capitalists are the ones that convinced him to invade in the first place. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/15/ronald-lauder-billionaire-donor-donald-trump-ukraine-greenland https://www.forbes.com/sites/martinadilicosa/2026/01/09/these-billionaires-bet-big-on-greenland-after-trump-took-interest/
And IIRC one of those Peter Thiel Network State charter city crypto fiefdoms as well was sniffing around Greenland.
I don’t know,
hethey seem to be more willing to escalate on treaty allies than anyone else.A bully always beats on his friends before ever considering a real challenger.
It helps that Donald Trump is not intimidating.
I don’t know… I find it quite intimidating that there’s a bunch of power in the hands of a psychopath with dementia and emotional self-regulation abilities worse than the average toddler.
There isn’t. He’s just the fall guy for the actually powerful people.
Sure he’s easy enough to manipulate for certain people, but it’s still not the same as those people being directly in charge themselves. Especially because there’s multiple different groups all manipulating him at the same time. Not that I’d want the people behind the manipulation to be in charge either…
Well my guess is, EU and Trump will come to an agreement: EU will spend $$$$ to protect Greenland and US Companies will get resources on Greenland anyway.
So the current status from before all this? Hope you are right, would be good for all of us.
He’s hardly ever beyond a payoff. His cronies all run the war machine, they make money from conflict or bribery, just not from inaction.
Currently its like $, but he will make EU pay $$$$$$. Then he goes after Iran.
Is this a punishment for helping with Iraq and Afghanistan?
shouldn’t there be an easy fix to this madness? just give trump a bright shiny trophy and tell him he earned it all by himself, like a big boy
They should be on the phone with congress. Just do an end around Trump.
The fly with blue eyes
I honestly don’t see why the EU and UK don’t cut off the USA entirely in response. Cancel all flights, cancel all visas. Cut the internet connection, allow no cargo to dock or undock, block all financial transactions. How hard can it be, if they want to be a pariah fine, it’s no great loss.
The economic damage to Europe would be high if that were to happen. Also Europe wants to keep the US onside for defence cooperation.
In an ideal world, if Europe were all-powerful, I’m sure Europe would want to cut ties with the US as soon as possible.
I think the only response to Trump’s threat is a demand that he explain himself in order to allow trade to resume.
Why bother? He’d only talk about the new ballroom being built at the Whitehouse amyways.
I keep expecting to hear the twang from csi MIAMI and seeing him remove the glasses in the thumbnail YEAAHHHHHHHHHH
Be passingly humorous if ww3 was started of that
Until the captured by the oligarchy mainsream parties running as status quo lose to a far right running as reform backed by the us and russia. Then it changes, and it is inevitable without popular reform on the ballot.
How much does france unbowed have to suck that they never take it. Or their influencers that they keep with unpopular platforms?
