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”

            ? why would someone do that, we don’t get those tariffs.

            Hell why would any non us entity want to give money in any way to trump?

              So that they get so deep into recession that they cannot lie their way out of it? But you make a valid counterpoint.

          There have been some reports in the last 48 hours that they are talking about scrapping the trade deal with the US (rather than ratifying it as they had been scheduled to do).

          It would be a reasonable move, especially since Trump never honours his agreements anyway.
