Trump just announced a massive escalation in trade policy. He’s targeting Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Finland with a tariff ultimatum to force a sale of Greenland.
The Schedule:
- Feb 1: 10% tariffs kick in.
- June 1: Tariffs jump to 25% if no deal is reached.
Context: This follows reports of European troops moving to Greenland to block potential U.S. military "acquisition" efforts. Trump is citing "national security" and "global safety" as the reason, using emergency economic powers.
Market Implications ? =>
- Massive Volatility: Expect a bloodbath in European exporters and U.S. companies with heavy EU supply chains.
- NATO at Risk: EU leaders are calling this a "deal-breaker" for the alliance.
- Legal Battle: All eyes are on the Supreme Court next week to see if they’ll strike down his authority to use tariffs this way.
TL;DR: POTUS is using 25% tariffs as a hostage tactic to buy Greenland. NATO is fracturing, and the markets are about to get very messy. haha

Here we go again
Too bad numb nuts doesn’t understand how tariffs work.
Why is this getting spam posted everywhere? Do Republican propaganda networks think of this as something that will ratchet up American fear? It isn’t working.
Let’s sell America to Greenland instead. They’ll run the country much better and we get to be part of the OCT.
How does it affect stock market?
Sad that he will blow 80 years of alliances and relationships in under a year… trust is hard to earn and easily broken, whether between people or nations
If you sanction everybody, aren’t you just sanctioning yourself?
So we’re doing extorsion now?
The EUs looking at this like…it’s gonna benefit the Democrats lol
Time to sell US bonds.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.
/Europe.
Just wait for the SCOTUS ruling and hopefully all this bullshit is gone and he actually has to work with congress which he’s too lazy to do.
So what was the point of making those trade deals last year, this basically cancels it out
Who cares. Just pay the tariffs. The US citizens gonna pay the bills anyways. Fuck what this orange puppet says
again?!
Honestly I wouldn’t blame the world for starting to dump us Treasury bonds seems to be the only thing that knocks some sense into this man is when his investor buddies panic that their losing money
Fuck this clown.
I love the smell of US bonds selling off in the morning.. even better if long term yields form a hockey stick graph
this is essentially a tariff on the entire EU plus UK and Norway, he can’t pick and choose EU countries because EU is a single customs entity
Time to bring out The Anti-Coercion Instrument.
My international stocks have loved the tariffs so far. The rest of the world realized they can’t rely on the US and are instead working together and building themselves. [Redacted] has done wonders for my 401K, I just had to invest in things opposite of what he intends.
He’s behaving like a cornered animal, I wonder why. Jesus Christ.

This is so embarrassing as a country fuck Congress for doing nothing about this nonsense
Mental illness, Biden brains and malignant narcissism turns out to make a horrible president and his own party is too trumpy-whipped and petrified to push back. Gold help us
The russian asset you elected over there is doing a good job dismantling democracy and the NATO.
Lmaooooo

Grandpa Donald, make it 100%… oh, come on, 1000% if you just keep your mouth shut until June, I’ll take it.
PS.: What about the Epstein files?
Am I missing something. Is a whole country for sale?
