Early on Tuesday Morning, President Trump shared a screenshot of a text he received from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte after announcing he had spoken with him and plans to meet with him at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump also shared screenshots of texts French President Emanuel Macron sent, pandering and offering Trump a meeting and dinner in Paris on Thursday. This comes after Macron threatened last week to defend Denmark and Greenland from Trump’s attempted acquisition.
Other European countries have expressed plans to support Denmark’s defense of Greenland, both through military force and by seeking a middle ground with the Trump Administration to prevent the United States from buying the island.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, President Trump slapped Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland with 10% tariffs, effective February 1, in response to troop movements to defend Greenland from US forces.
“China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake,” Trump said.
The 10% tariff will increase to 25% on June 1, and will be “due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” Trump said.
