Just when Wall Street and Corporate America were looking forward to a year without trade fears, the 'Tariff King' strikes again | Fortune
Trump announced tariffs on eight NATO allies and said earlier in the week that countries that do business with Iran would be hit with a 25% duty.

Trump legt Nederland en andere landen 10 procent importheffing op vanwege Groenland
De landen die worden getroffen door de importheffingen hebben toegezegd deel te nemen aan een verkenningsmissie die dient als voorbereiding op een NAVO-oefening.

For many years #Palantir and #ICE. have been partners. Palantir has also been contracted by many EU member state governments. Palantir is making a profit with European tax payers’ money. Do we feel okay about that? (spoiler: we shouldn’t). No European government should work with Palantir

Trump: Right now we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not. If we don’t do it the easy, we’ll do it the hard way. I am a fan of Denmark, but the fact that they had a boat landing 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land.
