Trump’s Greenland Threats Reopen Tariff Wounds in Europe President Donald Trump’s fixation on Greenland offers an ice-cold reminder to leaders in Europe and abroad: No deal is ever final.

Worth noting - "Both Lipsky and Lincicome [respected US trade policy folk] said that they think it’s unlikely, with the Supreme Court case and other factors, that the tariffs actually kick in Feb. 1."

One big reason Europe chooses not to over-react. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The truth about affordability Voters in rich countries are angry about prices. Politicians could make things worse

"Maddeningly, voters want contradictory things: low prices when they shop, high wages for themselves; not many immigrants but lots of cheap labour; rising house prices when they own and lower ones when their children want to buy"
