Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”

      The real solution is to invalidate US copyright in European territories. Also listen to Doctorow and throw out the dcma like laws and blow out the monopoly on tech the us has enjoyed.

      Tarifs hurt European individuals much more then American companies and politicians, more effective might be to answer with a different ‘weapon’ such as doubling down on protecting consumers against mining user data and double time ending our dependency on US technology.

      If we can’t beat them when it comes to hard power, we have to leverage our soft power.

      We need to isolate the US regime like we (the west) isolate Iran and North-Korea. Trump is making a lot of enemies, we need to win those to our side (the ones that follow the rule of law i mean, not the other fascists).

      Once we win that fight, we should come together and find a way to free the US’ citizens from the evil that took over their country.
