US President Donald Trump has said he may impose trade tariffs on countries that do not support his plans to take over Greenland.
“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Mr Trump said at the White House.
Go ahead, I can’t wait to laugh when they sell all the US bonds and declare US copyrights and patents as null and void.
Who does?
?
Unfortunately that’s probably not going to happen as doing so would destroy the global economy
(US Copyright is standardized to international copyright laws and the US Dollar is the defacto international currency with bonds being one of the way that keeps the currency strong.)
I wouldn’t take anything for granted. War has a way of changing things.
I think destroying NATO and triggering WW3 might be a bit destabilising to the global economy too
US dollar won’t be the international currency for long.
USD counts for about 58% of global currency reserves. That’s the largest by far to be sure, but far from the only relevant one, and the ratio has been steadily trending downwards (though interestingly, it hasn’t been the euro it lost ground to).
Great reason to keep funding the new Nazi regime…
