Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”

    The truths in the Epstein Files must be devastating when the tangerine turd tries so hard to distract from them.

      It’s like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public… No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.

      I think Trump is just obsessed with the thought of having the legacy of expanding US’ borders. I bet he thinks all scandals will be forgotten but you can’t forget how the territory was expanded.

    Block their service sector from the EU market. Boycott US products. And see how they will fare. It is about time we take a firm stance and show this demented idiot, that he cannot bully us.

      We sure need to double up on cutting loose from data storage at microslop, google, apple amazon etc. I’m not to worried about apps/software. As long as we have your data, we’ll figure it out.

    This man’s stupidity has no boundaries.

    "Donald Trump, who says on Truth Social that the US has subsidised Denmark and the European Union for many years by not charging them tariffs.”

      This is legitimately what the conservatives believe, that the EU is “free riding” on bailouts by the US.

    If you don’t give me what I want, I’ll make the American people pay me more to buy your stuff.

    OK.

    How’s that policy of appeasement and boot-licking going now, Kier?

    Starmer really thought that being a doormat for the playground bully meant he would get to keep his lunch money.

    Taxing Americans because other countries don’t support his dementia fueled fever dreams of conquest. Yup, that’ll teach 'em.

    Oh I see so now he’s angry at everyone. Not that I think that America should be able to get Greenland but even if I did it’s not as if say the UK or France has any say on the matter, so why are they being tariffed?

    Sounds to me like the UK should just drop all the agreements it made to avoid tariffs and give trumpler a solid kick in the balls.

    Sigh. All this means is that these countries will stop buying goods from the US. Another smooth brained move from the dotard.
