* Putin only understands military power.
* Trump only understands economic power.
EU needs to stand united against bullies, no matter where they come from. That’s how we protect the citizens of EU.
I mean. Tariffs on Denmark is the same at tariffs on the EU as a whole. He can’t put a tariff on just Denmark.
I wish the EU would….the problem is they always want to have a backdoor open
>If Trump sanctions Denmark, EU should sanction USA
As clumsy as I think the EU is, this is not a question of if, but rather of how will it sanction America. Trump knows this, so he will most likely do nothing.
There’s a history for that. China sanctioned one of the Baltic countries because of Taiwan and received retaliation from the EU on top. That is literally the point of the EU. Alone we are small and weak, together we are a fucking superpower (wannabe)
That said, even with sanctions I think Denmark will remain in the bed with America
BAN USA NOW!!!!
The EU should sign trade agreements with South/Central American, African and Asian countries that still haven’t been coopted by the US or China
European Union is becoming the last lighthouse of freedom in the world.
It’s EU or nothing. Merkel had to explain it to him a number of times, the last time (adding a sarcastic: build better cars).
And the allies are squabbling as Putin wants us to. Why can’t we mess Russia up from the inside in revenge?
You get a sanction, you get a sanction, you get a sa… SANCTIONS FOR EVERYONE!!
Of course, we are one Union.
True.
The „Strategic place“ is bullshit, as they already have a Military base there, it is all about the resources, he wants to steal.
If it was about the security, the EU could (should?), be unitedly answer by throwing all their bases in the EU out… but of course that would mean that the EU finally builds up a decent own military power.
We absolutely should if this happens. However, I am still getting the impression that Trump is talking about Greenland just to distract about the fact that he already has betrayed his voters and that he has nothing to offer them.
Groceries won’t get cheaper, his cabinet is a joke even for MAGA standards, he wants to cut social security, he won’t lower gas prices and most importantly: He is PRO IMMIGRATION (see H-1B visa). Trump is in desperate need for a distraction and Greenland seems to work.
Once he is in office, he will face other problems and who knows what will happen but Greenland won’t be a concern anymore.
But didn’t he threaten to put 25% tariffs on the whole EU anyway?
So the EU will put Tariffs on US products as well, as they did last time.
That will hurt our economy because the US is a big market.
But the US will suffer a lot more because Trump wants to put Tariffs on basically everyone.
If he really goes through with it, it’s gonna be dark times for the average people in the US.
He’s telling everyone to look _over there_ with this rubbish. He’s either hiding something closer to home or simply drumming up hype before he gets started for four years. Don’t engage.
Tariffs on Denmark would mean their precious LEGO, Insulin and Wegovy would increase in price. The Cheeto Benito hasn’t thought this through.
Nobody is putting sanctions on anyone. Calm down.
I think it’s past the time when the EU needs to have a standing army.
The fact that as a head of state of a NATO country can make open statements like these* when they literally threaten the territory of a fellow member state is mindboggling and does not bode well for the alliance. I know a certain cretin to the east that must be absolutely giddy now with this bullshit.
* I don’t think Trump would ever follow up on these, to me it seems like a distraction tactic for the fact that more and more of his voters have started to see through his bullshit and criticise him.
Good morning to the new Facist Dictator Nazi America
That’s a no-brainer.
There have been discussions to outright ban certain US products which are highly profitable (medical, aerospace etc) and have EU alternatives if the US wants a trade war.
We call them “tourist tax”. Enjoy your 50usd spritz.
Denmark’s/EU’s response to him needs to be a dismissive jerk-off motion. Anything more, telling him that this is an outrage or that you can’t just annex another country’s sovereign territory or that he’s weakening the West’s strategic alliances, just encourages him to get louder and more insistent that he can do what he wants, which continues to churn the story in the press and gives Putin a semi-chub.
Seriously, just ignore him. Maybe have some quiet meetings with other allies on how to respond if he really does something stupid, but ignore him. He’ll get bored and turn to nuking the moon and claim that he was never interested in Greenland and loves Danishes, especially the cheese ones. (Danishes being a name Americans have for sweet filled pastries).
I propose going after Google, Tesla, Starlink, Apple, Amazon, AMD, nvidia, Microsoft and all other major tech companies with big operations in Europe. The Chinese made huge amounts of money just banning many of those and building local alternatives.
Maybe it’s wrong but I’m just pissed off.
If Trump is gonna act like this towards the EU, fine, we should implement tariffs back. And dont’t care about the USA. EU needs to become independent from this ‘democracy’ we call the USA.
Please. If you can actually put this pos in his place, do it. I’m from the US and I cannot support any of Trump’s fuckery. I would rather die fighting this regime than see them actually harm any of our current allies.
Remember, RuZZia and AmeriKKKa all benefit from fascist parties breaking the EU apart. A united Europe is a force for equality and freedom neither of them can deal with 🇪🇺
Trump is an illiterate idiot surrounded by illiterate idiots… Putin is thrilled because he has an asset in White House who will do anything to please him.
It will hurt economically in the short turn, but we should really try to break free of the American sphere, and focus on developing relations with the rest of the world.
I would hate to give Russia a win like this, but it would have to be done.
I’m past caring if it would mean two decades of recession/stagnation. If it means motivating us to be a global contender again then it would be worth it.
What many Trumpists and Putinists (also in Europe), don’t get is that while the EU may be weak on foreign policy, trade and especially tariffs are its home turf, where the EU does not only have competence but actually exclusive competence.
Sanctions or not. It’s becoming clear EU needs to decouple from the US. That decaying empire has became an unreliable partner.
To this day I still can’t believe the fact that people in the U.S chose Trump to be the president.
I don’t think that we should sanction the USA, just ban everything that belong to Musk.
Ha ha. Ridiculous.
The EU should really sanction the US anyway. Trump is Putin’s agent and has already spent 4 years weakening the European community and NATO for his benefactor. Bullying Greenland and Denmark are just the beginning. Don’t hope that it will improve. Sanction America.
Absolutely
Why can’t Europeans get out of the post WW2 mindset?
Stand up for yourself. Daddy Sam or Bro Medvedev aren’t reliable partners nor is Cousin Dragon.
I hope some people in his administration has a bit more brain than a bird to not let this tariff war go on. But considering he appointed loyal dogs this time to bark at his command, EU must prepare for counter tactics.
Yes of course it should. It’s time the EU stood up to this megalomanic. The US imports more than $700 billion from the EU, as where the EU imports less than $4 billion from the US. Any trade war between the US and the EU will hurt the US more. For such a large country the US relies very heavily on other countries for many things.
