Gentle reminder that all EU country products fall under the same tariff regime. Trump seeks to divide the EU. And he might succeed. Not everyone will act in solidarity with Denmark if that means higher tariffs for their products. It’s the economy, stupid.
Trump: “I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security.”
Trade war incoming!
Does he really think people are so scared of tariffs? Probably, as he clearly doesn’t understand what they are.
