Potential joint Danish & Irish solution, causing US problems both with inflation and deflation.
Ireland would happily support an EU wide approach.

Boycotting American brands.. Or blockading US assets across Europe, including shipping, factories, military bases?
There is more than one way to punish the United States of Trump.

It's effectively impossible to boycott US companies because they own so many British brands. You'd have to stop buying Cadburys, Walkers Crisps, HP sauce.... or shopping at Gails or Waterstones etc etc...

What Europe could do is threaten to boycott the World Cup. It won't. But that might actually work. Trump wants his big show.

French President Macron on Trump’s Greenland threats:
“No intimidation nor threat will influence us, neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world… Tariff threats are unacceptable and Europeans will respond to them in a united and coordinated manner.”

Europeans spend the last days pretending that their deployment to Greenland was not against the US.
Trump, as always, is sensing a weakness and will force them to come clean. I understand the diplomatic hesitation, but time for Europeans to make clear, unequivocal stance.

So before you reflexively say, “He can’t do that,” ask yourself how often that assumption has failed us over the last 12 months. If it’s in his head, there will be an army of enablers ready to turn it into reality, bending logic to defend the indefensible. That’s the pattern.

Good luck to America projecting its power across the world without these.
If MAGA is pretending that they want to pull out the 100,000 American troops occupying European soil, maybe it's time Europe called their bluff.

A new @ecfr.eu survey has found that the proportion of Europeans who view the US as an ally or an adversary are approaching the same levels as how they feel about China.
Only 16% of Europeans still see the US as an ally, new survey finds
An ECFR survey published today finds a dramatic shift in how Europeans view America. More now see the US as a rival or enemy than as a friend. Conversely, Russians no longer see the US as an enemy.

Even if nothing much happens around Greenland, the Europeans will still be directly confronted by US destabilisation of the Western Hemisphere when it affects 3 million people living in islands and territories around the Caribbean that are under the oversight of the UK and EU states
Wow, it seems the Northern Atlantic Ocean is bigly important for US and European security (Greenland!).
Here’s an unorthodox idea: Why don’t we set up a Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization binding together the democracies of the western hemisphere?
Sounds crazy, I know.
