President Donald Trump says he'll impose a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations because of their opposition to American control of Greenland.

Trump said in a social media post that Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland would face the tariff and that it would climb to 25% on June 1 if a deal is not in place for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland” by the United States.

Lol. Lmao, even.

    Prior to his presidential campaign, Trump was best known for being the rich guy who put his name on everything. Of course he’s not going to go along with a complex political status quo where Greenland is a de facto asset of the United States through corporate proxies and an unacknowledged vassal state. He wants America’s name on it.
