Trump made the remarks after describing threatening European allies, including France and Germany, with 25 percent tariffs if they did not pay more for prescription drugs. “I went through country after country,” Trump said at a White House roundtable on rural health care. “I just went one after another.” “I may do that for Greenland on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security,” he said. http://the...p-tariffs-greenland-territory/ |

That's what this is setting up: a clean cut off of US tech firms in the case of a global trade war. The EU based subsidiaries are constituted as European companies, with access to the core IP, managed by Europeans. In the event of some massive rupture, they simply get nationalised and royalty flows suspended, and service continues. |

rank | Sat Jan 17 19:10:59 THEY'RE HERE!!!!!!!! ------ Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA |

" yeah it's weird i have a problem w/ the 'president' trying to put tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland because Denmark won't surrender territory to him just because he says they should... & when he incredibly clearly doesn't have the power to impose the tariffs to begin with... that's such a rational, defensible & lawful thing to be doing... & he's going about it in such a productive & sensible way... & with all polling showing the people he's supposed to represent massively against it... |

rank | Sun Jan 18 00:01:11 ”China and Russia want Greenland” No they don’t. It is the US pedo mafia who wants Greenland. ” On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet.” That Denmark has people on Greenland and has invited other countries is a dangerous situation for the survival of the planet? Wtf ”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.” Fuck off. |

rank | Sun Jan 18 02:57:27 WTF! We give our European friends a gentle tap to remind them that we have a legitimate national security need for Greenland and that it would be best if they stayed out of the matter, and they retaliate by re-igniting a global trade war with us?!?!?!? "EU Set to Halt US Trade Deal Over Trump’s New Tariff Threat" https://ww...r-trump-s-latest-tariff-threat This is nothing less than a full-blown betrayal by our European partners. Eat shit, you Old World assholes. |
