Trump has said he will not be imposing tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on 1 February.
In a post on Truth Social he said, based upon a “very productive meeting” with the Secretary General of Nato Mark Rutte they “have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland”.
He said: "This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all Nato Nations.
"Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland.
“Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations — They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
If he creats a conflict by attacking Greenland China would go for Taiwan soon after.
Russia would hit the Baltics. Not necessarily a full commitment, just a little land grab. Just to prove to the world that the US will not defend NATO countries.
They so much as sneeze wrong at the Baltics or any European nation, I am arming myself with home made bombs and molotovs and going full one man terrorist cell Leroy Mnjkenins on their asses, I don’t even give a shit what Europe does.
There’s no way Russia could just nibble a little on an EU/Nato country with a full response from Europe, regardless of whether the US backs it up. Whether Europe is in good shape to deal with that is a different story, but I’d say there’s little room to do anything “small” under their own flag.
There is. If they succeed to install an AfD government in Germany and a PiS one in Poland, they would very likely be able to “protect” russian speakers in the Baltics. And since the US government and the tech oligarchy joined russia in the fight for breaking up the EU this scenario is not unrealistic.
