Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing.
Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

Find some spine, UK and Europe. Where’s that fabled spirit of resistance? Tell Trump to sod off. Close his golf courses. Take the gloves off. Badenoch kicked out Jenrick before he quit; what are we waiting for with Trump? Do we have to suffer abject humiliation? Enough. Enough already.

My point is..,,there’s no point clinging onto hope that the alliance can be saved, US still be relied upon in extremis. It can’t. So, what’s holding us back from retaliating?
I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

So reciprocal tariffs and boycotts on all US goods until he stops threatening to colonise a peaceful European-owned country
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

Dangerous new step in Trump's deranged pursuit of Greenland: economic punishment of allies to coerce Denmark into selling Greenland—on demonstrably spurious grounds. The president is lying: US missile defence can function perfectly w/out US ownership of Greenland. It has done for decades.

„It [Denmark] lost more soldiers per capita than the United States did in Afghanistan“.
This says it all. A small country experiencing enormous loss of life in defence of an ally is discarded and ridiculed by weak, bullying, demagogues trying to make up for their obvious inadequacies.
