Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.
So US Americans have to pay a tax to punish them ?
Yes. Abusers can’t go after stronger opponents so they hurt those without the power to harm him. It’s basically his entire political strategy at this point.
I’d call it malice towards his constituents, but I’m still not convinced he actually understands how tariffs work.
I mean… They might somewhat hurt us, too.
Say we send product X and charge $10 and another country`s product charges $10.50. When there’s a 10% tax, we now need to charge $11 and might lose sales. But the question is whether 10% is enough of a deterrent (and whether there are viable alternatives from other countries for the US)
All true, but you know: The US puts tariffs on everyone, everyone else “only” has to deal with the US. We even just made a new trade deal with half of South America. That has to be worth something, if we have to cut off the US?! Well, in practice it is now complicated because our politicians are a bit slow to recognize that the US might not be the strong partner anymore, that we had for the last 80 years. But even they will get there eventually, I hope
I agree, but again, I think you’ve put far more thought into it than he has.
Dude, he convinced half our country that tariffs were going to make us all wealthy despite the fact that anybody with a 5th grade education can look up the definition of a tariff and know better.
Of fucking course he is.
the problem is that the number of americans with a fifth grade education or higher is a minority.
Couldn’t agree more. We need education to be accessible.
But… Republicans have worked so hard over decades to erode education to the point it benefits them… and you want to take that away? Maybe we should tariff YOU!
You are correct that was cowardly of me. I apologize.
It’s high time you realise you are your government’s hostages.
