Emmanuel Macron has hit back at Donald Trump’s latest threats to impose tariffs on any country opposing his Greenland takeover, warning that “no amount of intimidation” will persuade European nations to change their course on Greenland.
He was echoed by the Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, who warned the EU would not be “blackmailed” by the US president, who on Saturday announced 10% tariffs on eight European countries from 1 February, with a further 25% tariff from 1 June.
In a joint statement, EU leaders said “tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral”.
It is highly likely that the European parliament will halt ratification of last summer’s trade deal with the US after Manfred Weber, the head of the European People’s party, the largest voting bloc in the institute, said they would have to pause the legal rubber stamping process.
I think the orange turd bluffed himself into a corner.
First he threatened to take Greenland by force if necessary. Europe didn’t back down and responded by sending troops to Greenland to prepare for possible conflict.
The pedo realised this bluff didn’t work. So now he’s threatening with tariffs again.
Military conflict would have had much worse consequences for both sides than the tariffs. So why would anyone back down for 10% tariffs?
And if anyone learned anything about tariffs in the FSA (Fascist States of America) from 2025 is that they hurt American people just as much, if not more.
Americans don’t want Greenland and they don’t want higher prices.
Let’s see how smart the orange turd is.
Let’s keep all the champagne in EU
And the USA gets real pain.
Champagne for our real allies
Real pain for our sham allies
Well…umm…we’ll retaliate by making it so champagne not produced in the Champagne region of France can still be labeled as “champagne!” T_T
Well, in that case, we can think of some IP laws we can shred in return…
Stop, no. Don’t do it. You’ll make billionaires mad bro don’t do it.
Well, they already seem mad most of the time. Might as well give them a good reason to be.
FACT: TACO
Do whatever you want, France. Trump will chicken out. Nothing else is as for sure other than that.
TACO is for things that could hurt the stock market or the the profits of capital. It literally comes from Wall Street traders.
TACO is not for Trump being reckless and cruel. He bombed Iran, he bombed fishing boats, he kidnapped a leader of a sovereign country, he has built concentration camps and is sending his SS troops door to door.
You best hope enough wealthy capitalist convince him not to invade Greenland. Because that’s the only reason he won’t. Don’t expect fascist to not take easy “wins” of cruelty to show power when they can.
Fascist only back down when their capitalist owners tell them to OR when there is a chance they could be resisted and seen as weak.
It started on Wall Street, but they simply picked up on the trend because it’s an industry of people looking at trends and patterns all day to place bets.
He chickens out on all sorts of policy things when he doesn’t delegate it to ghouls that feed on the cruelty. He keeps acting like he’s going to be tough on the EU, and then folds.
However, to your point, wealthy capitalists are the ones that convinced him to invade in the first place. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/15/ronald-lauder-billionaire-donor-donald-trump-ukraine-greenland https://www.forbes.com/sites/martinadilicosa/2026/01/09/these-billionaires-bet-big-on-greenland-after-trump-took-interest/
And IIRC one of those Peter Thiel Network State charter city crypto fiefdoms as well was sniffing around Greenland.
It helps that Donald Trump is not intimidating.
Kick all US personnel out of Greenland.
shouldn’t there be an easy fix to this madness? just give trump a bright shiny trophy and tell him he earned it all by himself, like a big boy
They should be on the phone with congress. Just do an end around Trump.
I think the only response to Trump’s threat is a demand that he explain himself in order to allow trade to resume.

I honestly don’t see why the EU and UK don’t cut off the USA entirely in response. Cancel all flights, cancel all visas. Cut the internet connection, allow no cargo to dock or undock, block all financial transactions. How hard can it be, if they want to be a pariah fine, it’s no great loss.
Be passingly humorous if ww3 was started of that
The fly with blue eyes
at this point i don’t believe any of the politics going on. world wide.
