If one of you mention anything negative about us taking Greenland, I will tax my population more and severely disrupt their ability to purchase goods they need while you will be forced to find new partners. It will be very inconvenient for you. You will probably lose any trust you have in us and might not risk trading with us for a very long time.
Checkmate radical leftists. This is the art of the deal.
Oh… also. Please keep buying bonds and don’t you dare trade with China.
Do it, pussy. We’re not buying your shit anyway. The USA can go fuck itself.
I’m from the USA and we definitely need to go fuck ourselves with a dried pineapple
It’s the other way around, he is putting tariffs on American imports, so it will be harder for us to sell to USA.
I’m not interested in doing business with America until they can get their shit together.
Honestly, I’ve been in favor of a full embargo since this whole ‘trade-war’ bullshit kicked off. Strengthen trade with other nations while showing America they don’t control the global economy.
Fine, I personally have a near total boycott on American goods and services myself, doesn’t change the fact that tariffs are not about us buying stuff from USA.
So the good jam and flavored dates will be twice as expensive. Great …
About fucking time, we need a degree of decentralization from the US. There absolutely was no need to make US the central hub of nearly everything in this first place, all this basically proved that they where the superpower. Now this time long centralized structure is being tested - and hopefully it dissolves.
One trick pony
His other trick is fucking little girls
Bring it. He’ll tariff us anyways for being rude to his ambassador or some shit anyway.
Fuck Hoekstra and fuck Trump.
Then an hour later he will forget what he said in a meeting he slept through and change his mind.
TACO
Too bad that turtle fence couldn’t keep Hoekstra out.
Trump is threatening tarrifs. Must be a day that ends with a Y.
Repeal the DMCA clone laws in every country.
That’s what will actually hit the fuckers bankrolling this guy.
Yup. Do that and you can make an alternative App store for Iphones, give a 90% discount, eat Apples lunch, and still make 30 Billion.
I fought with your father in the clone wars
This motherfucker has lost his fucking mind. He is so desperate to distract from the Epstein files that he is trying to start WW3.
He’s already threatening to escalate to a kinetic war and then returns to threaten a trade war which he already started.
Is that supposed to be the master negotiator?
The master masturbator negotiator.
The Shart of the Steal
The idea of a kinetic war with Europeans is horribly unpopular in the US so this is him scrambling.
No one can escape punishment from a mentally deranged felon. He even murdered his closest friend over some files, so take that as you will.
Hey, at least he doesn’t rape childre…oh!
Hey, at least he doesn’t murder childre…oh!
Yep. Good news though, the women don’t have to worr…oh!
God I hate what my country has become. No country is perfect or will ever be, but I can no longer say I’m proud to be an American. Fucking sad.
You were proud to be American before Trump?
I was. You can’t conflate what politicians do and what the government does as “this is what the country is all about”. There are plenty of reasons to be proud of your country. The reason I am no longer proud is just the sheer amount of stupidity in people these days. It really feels like we are going backwards.
But here’s the thing, America isn’t the only country going backwards.
No kidding. The US was never “great” and I say that as an American. This country has sucked for my entire life and it’s only now that a lot of Americans are finally waking up to that reality.
Oh, FFS. That shit punishes US.
Oh man I’ve been waiting for us to have an excuse to tariff them. For one thing, we need to get Canadians to stop buying anything from the US, there are too many Canadians that don’t seem to learn… At least with tariffs in place, the die-hard MAGA Canadians that insist on buying America will fund our economic development.
Also we get to put the squeeze on the US. I say we start with potash, or maybe hydro. Hit the essentials first.
After all, we should just assume he’s going to tariff us no matter what we do. He’ll use China as an excuse, he’ll use the F35s as leverage, no matter what we do he’ll renege on it, the same way he did on his own CUSMA. Just do what we need to do and lie to him, pretend we’re doing everything we can, buy time and keep diversifying. Buy the Gripens, negotiate the deal in secret if needed so you don’t need to announce it until the last minute. At this point don’t commit to anything with the US. Delay, delay, delay.
Cool cool cool. Yeah I’m sure Americans LOVE paying tariffs and they will thank you for even more price rises.
DO IT. I’m sure it will achieve the best poll ratings ever. No president or any leader in the history of humanity was as popular and as supported and as amazing as the orange pedo!
That sounds less like diplomacy and more like pressure politics. Greenland isn’t a bargaining chip, and using tariffs to force support would probably just strain alliances instead of strengthening them.
Pressure politics is part of diplomacy.
That being said, the US effectively doesn’t have any allies any more. Sure there’s still alliances on paper, but Trump doesn’t care about agreements and everyone knows it. But we’re in a bit of an awkward dance where countries don’t want Trump to know that they know the US no longer considers any country an ally. Just buying time to shift everything away from the US.
also, mostly just trying to outlast him in the vain hope for a “return to normal” when he croaks.
