'You'll Find Out': Trump Insists on Greenland, Increasing Tensions in Europe
In a White House briefing last night (Wednesday morning WIB), Donald Trump reiterated one thing: Greenland remains a key target for the US. However, when asked how far he would go to achieve this, Trump did not provide a definitive answer. Instead, he concluded with a cliffhanger, leading many to interpret the situation as a signal of intensifying political pressure.
Trump also reiterated the threat of new tariffs against eight European countries that refuse to agree on the Greenland issue. His tone was clear: tariffs would be used as a means of pressure. This further inflamed US-European relations and made markets wary of the risk of a renewed trade war.
Furthermore, Trump touched on NATO in a manner that raised questions: he emphasized the issue of the defense "burden" and demanded what he considered fairer commitments. He also briefly branched out into other topics, such as international conflict and the role of global institutions, making the briefing feel fraught with issues and unpredictable.
Did Trump seem "kaos" (disorganized)? Yes. His speech was disjointed, many answers were left hanging, and some statements tended to be both threats and negotiations. The bottom line is firm on Greenland and tariffs, but the quality approach is heating up the situation and making allies—and the market—nervous. (asd)
