from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
Yesterday, Trump made good on his threats and announced new tariffs to be levied against eight European countries for daring to defy his wish to annex Greenland against the wishes of its residents and of Denmark, whose territory it currently is. And FINALLY this move seems to have pushed the European leaders to the point where they are now ready to give up on the ever-lasting strategy of seeking to appease Trump, flatter him and woo him. Instead, they are threatening retaliation, on the principle that bullies only respect strength, and it might just be time to show some. Well, we'll see. But in the mean time, let's discuss.
