"In a post on Truth Social, Trump said additional 10% import tariffs would take effect on February 1 on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and Britain – all already subject to tariffs imposed by Trump.

Those tariffs would increase to 25% on June 1 and would continue until a deal was reached for the U.S. to purchase Greenland, Trump wrote.
The president has repeatedly said Greenland is vital to U.S. security because of its strategic location and large mineral deposits, and has not ruled out using force to take it. European nations this week sent military personnel to the island at Denmark's request."
"These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable," Trump wrote.
"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, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades," he said.
The tensions are increasing.
I was feeling right about that something wrong is gonna happen. This dude would probably do anything to jeopardize the midterms and any stability in US.
The american citizens must be very proud of him. Good luck with the free, fair and safe future elections.

“Vows”
Trump says a lot of things
More and more countries gonna turn to our adversaries like the deal Canada signed with China to allow Chinese made EVs into Canada
Trump gonna run this country into the same shit show. How many times did he had to file bankruptcy while running his own companies?
I said it before; America is no friend of Europe. Europe needs to look elsewhere for stable partnerships; in which we aren’t disrespected.
Clown man saying clownish things.
June 1st, what a coward. If he was going to do it he would right away. Just like those tariffs against anyone supporting Iran.
Does this mean he’s throwing his dummy out of the pram again? So until he gets his way Trump will carry on treating countries with tariffs so we the American people suffer again. He doesn’t realise the damage he causes to us when he behaves like a man-baby
idiot. there IS A US ARMY BASE, no chinese would dare set foot there
TACO
It’s funny that he chooses weekends for these types of announcements.
Congress will finally take him behind the barn before he does something this catastrophically bad for America. They’ll finally admit he’s been failing the “horse, car, stapler” cognitive test for a year now.
Just actively trying to destroy our country
The only shocking thing here is that only 8 european countries oppose of the greenland invasion.
[this is the goal.. ](https://imgur.com/gallery/reason-behind-venezuela-greenland-canada-more-HX5Noha#bx5jH3x)
All that brown nosing that Starmer has done and it’s all been for naught. As expected.
This guy us such a bully.
When is anyone going to tell him to go fuck himself?
Trump is such an embarrassment.
It’s like he is trying to usher in the Chinese century by alienating us from all of our allies.
Fuck trump, fuck america who keeps betraying us.
This is simply a dump and pump scheme. Just watch him get rich again by abusing his power.
lol even the conservative sub hates this.
My country is literally alienating the entire world and turning them against us
All of these countries will have trade deals with China and will cut the US out and we will be left isolated without allies. Except perhaps Russia. We are literally executing the foreign policy of the Kremlin. We are destroying NATO and being torn apart from within. It is literally Vladimir Putin‘s dream White House. It’s as if he is calling the shots in the White House.
President Reagan talked about the United States as being the shining city on the hill. That is what we should aspire to be. President Reagan would be turning over in his grave at what is going on today from the White House. We’re not making America great again. We’re making Russia great again. And turning on our best allies who have stood with us in so many wars.
