Peace in our time.
its RUSSIAN speak, punish [western country] to sow dissent, plus serves also a epsteinfiledistraction that putin might release.
Why don't you put 1000% tariffs on everything you fucking buffoon.
He'll demand the Sudentland and Austria next.
Putin's running dog as usual.
Dementia Don
If he steps over the line there should be no trade anyway.
There already shouldn't be now.
Are there any countries left he hasn't levied tariffs against? I believe the penguins are still quaking in their flippers..
Time to see whether our elected representatives here have any spine ...
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.
Once people realize if we all collectively so NO they can't do a damn thing.
If we Lick just a LITTLE bit More MAYBE he Won't Punish us NEXT!
-World Leaders apparently!

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.

Yawn.
This again?
So he is going to reneg on his agreements at this point? At this point he has attacked everyone so he can fuck off. If you agree to him he'll just move the goal post again. He is like any gangster.
Most gangsters understand that constant reneging will make the victims start fighting back. They want their rackets to be boring and reliable.
So, he wants to shut off more trade in a tantrum. Interesting tactic.
Let me translate the Trumpspeak to English:
"Whaaaaaa! Whaaaaaaa! WHAAAAAaaaa!"

Even if you do that, you don't do it like that: You're supposed to bully your weakest trade partners into bullying your opponents so that you don't get dirty, you impatient fuck.
Also, we had this before and it didn't work, both domestically and diplomatically, so this is an empty threat, you're bluffing.
For all those receptive to their ramblings: Why is there only one of 20 military camps build by the US on Greenland occupied if this push is supposed to be about national security?
Wonder why people have been screaming 'death to america' for years?
Why is news site reporting what the rapist terrorist said? Who gives a flying fuck what threats a felon gives?
Kim Jong Un wants you not to piss in his coffee. You laugh, you don't give it a fucking headline.

So anyone want to tell him that if applied to Denmark Imports from Greenland would also become expensive?
Actually maybe he should do that. One could spin it as Trump Getting the profits from Greenland (and legally to if proper channels are followed)
