        Yes, and I’m sure you know this, but it generally hurts both countries equally or close to it, and therefore that is a dumb as fuck way to punish countries for not supporting your modern Monroe Doctrine

    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.

      This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!

      We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.

      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.
