US President Donald Trump has said he may impose trade tariffs on countries that do not support his plans to take over Greenland.

"I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security," Mr Trump said at the White House.

I'm guessing that reasoning is why he's been trying to get our economic relationship with China back to what is was before Trump's first term. It's a shitty choice to have to make, but when the US is by far your biggest trading partner, you have to diversify where you can.

    Is it even that shitty of a choice? I'm just an American who's never been to China, but right now they really seem to be the better place to live...

    It's still the same party in charge that decided to use tanks to run over student protesters. China only seems more stable right now because protesters would have all been rounded up into the re-education camps a long time ago.
