So the threat of military force is off the table, for now, so I guess someone got into his ear telling him the horrible implications from it.

Now I guess we will watch him use tariffs to put ever increasing pressure on allies of Denmark to try to get them to cave.

At least until the SCOTUS rules on tariffs at somepoint in 2029.

Or it was never actually on the table after all.

Or it was never actually on the table after all.

Then why not directly state that? What benefit has leaving the threat of invasion implied provided America?

All it has done is draw together the rest of NATO against America, and inspired even more people to plan to do less business with America.

Yeah but that’s exactly the attitude Carney was talking about anyways. That was probably a significantly more tempered response than some of the contemplated possibilities Carney reasonably anticipated from his speech. Trump being mad about it was already ‘priced in’.

Give it a day or to before his socials light up.
