Re: Trump wants Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal
He has gone too far.
Trump arbitrarily, without legal authority, imposes tariffs on longstanding allies to compel the annexation of an ally’s sovereign territory.
This cannot stand.
Europe and the UK should respond with strength and unity by imposing counter tariffs. And all of Denmark’s NATO allies, including Canada, should respond by contributing troops to the joint military exercises in Greenland.
The free world cannot abide economic warfare as a tool of territorial aggression.
If the response is weakness and disunity, he will exploit it.
A year ago he said that he would use “economic force” to “annex Canada.” He is now doing exactly that to annex a neighbouring ally.
We should respond with confidence that he is only about to get weaker. The US Supreme Court is very likely to overturn Trump’s emergency tariffs within days or weeks. And Trump is almost certain to lose control of Congress a year from now, effectively making him a lame duck.
If we do not act together to respond to this bullying, it will embolden him to go even further.

When your own party is drawing a red line, you’ve gone past “America First” into “imperial meltdown.
