Trump says "play ball"or tariff imposed

US to Impose 10 Percent Tariff on 8 European Countries Opposing Greenland Deal

‘The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk,’ Trump wrote.

The tariff will impact Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland starting Feb. 1, according to a Truth Social post on Jan. 17. The countries are all NATO members.

“This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” Trump wrote.

“The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important.”

The tariff will increase to 25 percent on June 1.

Trump can do whatever he wants, in three years, (or less) we will change it all back.

Whatever. Change it all back to the detriment of our country. Is power that important to you?

For some reason, you are in the tank for this President. I gave him a chance at the beginning, but he just gets crazier and crazier. It will take more than your blog to convince people he's not losing his mind.

@8:56..."crazy" brilliant! What policies don't you like? All the money he is making for our country? Not allowing some pissant country bully us? Deterring China and Russia and Iran, a danger to the world, our enemies? Wanting to buy Greenland for highlighting its strategic importance for Arctic missile warning and space surveillance? We spend a fortune to mainain our military base there...$3.95 billion and more.
