God I'm so tired of America, I wish Starmer would stop sucking up to Trump and I despise the fact Farage is so popular considering how transparently he wants to turn us into a subservient vassal.
Individual EU countries can't be tariffed.
In theory, neither can islands with zero human population and zero trade, but that didn't stop him tariffing those penguins last time, did it?
He does a lot of things that can't be done and says a lot more than that. I don't think his reality is the same as the rest of ours.
This stinks of someone who'd feeling super weak.
I think making a fuss about it would be the wrong approach. We should just calmly station more troops in Greenland, quietly impose retaliatory tariffs, and then go about our business. That would pile up even more pressure on Trump without the noise he's craving to distract people from all his other troubles.
Can I just check I haven't misunderstood... Aren't these tariffs charged to companies / individuals in the US for importing goods from other countries? ie. it's an import tax?
Yes, Trump has no power to impose any other tariffs. But the way he speaks about it deliberately gives the impression that it's the other countries who are paying.
That's correct. It's one way in which governments can change the behaviour of it's citizens. Do that enough and the people will find an alternative and countries exporting to the US will lose out.
Whether that will happen with these tariffs who knows.
Why the UK? They left the EU, and have nothing to do with Greenland, right?
Please let there be a 200% tariff on Huffy bikes imported to the UK. Those things deserve to die in a fire.
It's okay guys, my goat Kier just sent our strongest military officer (singular) to Greenland, the US empire now has no choice but to back off!
