You're not perfect, but you don't have to cow down to that infantile idiot in Washington. Stand firm, do not yield to Trump's extortion. If you let him have Greenland now, he will want something more later; his greed is insatiable.
Remember: YOU don't pay his tariff, American importers pay it. The economy is his Achilles Heel, and you have many resource at your disposal to hurt him.
You hold billions in U.S. bonds--sell them off, make him buy them back. Cash-flow problems, he does not need right now.
You hold billions in U.S. stocks--sell them off, crash the DOW. You can invest in European stocks at Frankfurt & Zurich.
Refuse entry to U.S.-flagged ships at your ports.
Charge U.S. persons a non-refundable 'processing fee' for travel to Europe, and make it exorbitant, 50,000 USD per person, 5 million for billiousaires.
Cut off power, water, and garbage collection to U.S. installations throughout Europe.
Boycott the World Cup.

@moonbus saidI'm not at all supporting Trump in his desire to get Greenland, but your entire post sounds like an underdog trying to get the motivation to fight a giant. Europe is weak, fragmented and over the years focussed on trivial things because they always lived under the umbrella provided by USA.

@Rajk999 saidYou're right that Europe has been far too reliant on America, but wrong about Europe being weak. If they move as a block, they are powerful.

Watch Trump crumble if they act collectively on the tariff issue.

EU military is practically non existent…leaders have failed to properly invest, being dependent on the US
EU doesnt have any cards to play in this game
A group of weak countries does not make for being strong…still just several weak countries

You are in effect agreeing that Europe currently lives under the protection of US military might... RIght ?

Basically 93 billion’s worth of tariffs.
Thursday they will decide of they’ll go one further: blocking US firms from the EU market.
Davos on Wednesday could be quite interesting…
@shavixmir saidThe EU has plenty of economic leverage which extends far beyond the Shengen borders. The hard part is reaching consensus, and persuading the members not to try to reach any special deals with Trump individually.

I found it particularly craven that the Swiss showed up in Washington with a Rolex and bar of gold and 'bought' a special tariff deal for themselves. Yuk. Trump runs his administration just like a Mafioso, and the only way to undercut that it is for the whole EU to stand firm against special 'deals'.
@Sleepyguy saidAh....Trump Derangement Syndrome.

You actually believe his administration will save you.
@kmax87 saidNo, I have my doubts about Trump's plans, methods, and chances at success. I think the idea of focusing on our hemisphere to secure the US has merit, but the way he is going about this Greenland grab is very worrisome. I think European (and Canadian) weakness and feckless, stupid "leadership" is part of his calculus though.

@Sleepyguy saidEspecially since America has all the access it needs in Greenland in terms of deploying bases and troops. And I am sure if he had even an ounce of actual negotiating skills Denmark would more than likely work out a way for America to extract all the mineral wealth it needs as any friendly NATO ally would allow.
