  1. Expected, just hopefully Europe holds firm. To surrender Greenlanders to America would be horrific.

    We can’t let America bully the world into letting them annex other countries.

  2. ConstructGames on

    Trump is like the world’s oldest make a wish kid, only difference is that everyone is praying for him to die faster. Hopefully they name a salad after him when this is all over.

  3. EU should ditch this crap of a USA ASAP.
    let the USA rot internally, this is even more useless then useless.

  4. DogDisguisedAsPeople on

    Europe, don’t you fucking dare back down.

    Do NOT negotiate with terrorists. Please. Please.

  5. He meant “USians will need to pay 10% more for things coming from those 8 countries”. Oh well, bad for them, I guess.

    >Coons said that he wants to de-escalate the situation. “I hope that the people of the Kingdom of Denmark do not abandon their faith in the American people,” he said in Copenhagen, adding that the U.S. has respect for Denmark and NATO “for all we’ve done together.”

    lol fucking yanks don’t realise they’ve thoroughly destroyed their relationship with the nordic countries forever.

  7. So America going for economic warfare first against allies.

    Completely untrustworthy country.

  8. Dumb man. EU will strike back. Blackmailing is the wrong way. He is now on one step with Putin.

  9. “Demential pedo slaps his own country’s citizens with a tax after Europe affirms NATO”

    There. Fixed the title for you.

  10. in case anyone is curious, but dont want to click, these are the countries:

    Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland

    and he’ll raise it to 25% on June 1 if by then, a deal is not in place for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”

    hey Americans this is on you, every single one of you letting your country end up in this state, i’m British and in my limited social media circles we are properly pissed off with the lot of you.

  12. I pray to the Lord to deliver us from this Evil Satan at his earliest convince and beg him to make it happen soon.

  13. Plus-Middle-Ultra on

    Europeans, let’s stay strong together against these American brainrot bullies (and I am including UK just to be clear).

  14. He can fuck right off. Maybe we should consider closing some of the bases on our land. If he did go ahead with this insane plan, then that should be an option. They shouldn’t use bases over here to launch their invasion. Can’t even believe that I’m typing this. What happened to the US? Utterly insane.

  15. BurritoBlandit on

    “Because you oppose imperialism, we are charging our citizens an extra 10% on your goods”

    Americans should never be forgiven for this nonsense

  16. Its the countries that sent tokenistic forces to Greenland.

    >He said in a social media post that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland would face the tariff, which would be raised to 25% on June 1 if a deal is not in place for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland” by the United States.

    SCOTUS is expected to imminently decide whether to wipe out hundreds of billions of already collected tariffs under IEEPA. These tariffs would presumably be under a vague hand-wavy umbrella of “national security”.

    He has [previously stated he will tariff “any country” that opposes his annexation of Greenland](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qpy952xvno) so the US may be moving to a regime of the president unilaterally taxing Americans however he personally likes, as long as there is a national security fig leaf (no matter how ludicrous).

  17. ”Americans will be charged a 10 percent tariff for importing from 8 European countries for opposing Trump‘s planned invasion of Greenland”
