Subtitle: It Appears the U.S. will be accessing Greenland's rare Earths via Canada. Go to 8:14 in the following video to see What Greenland has to say about Trump's prediction that U.S. will get control of Greenland "...one way or another."
President Trump's is proving that domestically, where he's seized control of the cops and Court, his mob-boss method of making "deals" via extortion has been amazingly successful, despite the little speed bump Harvard has put in his way. But when it comes to extorting other countries, where he controls neither the cops nor the Court, his record is "less than good"*. ______________ *Quoting Dick Button, the former Olympic Figure Skating commenter, who described a performance that featured numerous falls as "less than good." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/sports/dick-button-dead.html
He hasn't succeeded on much of anything with Canada other then us cancelling a new 3% tax that had no consensus here anyways. I'm sure he's pissed about all this and will want to attack us again this week, but US industry leaders and consumers are going to be a problem for him on this. The trade here is to short Canadian market exposure ( or just sell off most of your holdings like I am ), and look to buy the inevitable rebound when Trump's empty threats are exposed again.
He did a minerals deal with Ukraine for protection and immediately TACOed letting Ukraine get pasted. Hegseth didn't need to publicly announce any supply issue either. I can't imagine Greenland didn't notice.
Indexes were at then all time highs under Obama and Bjden too yet crickets... market doesn't give a shit what empty idol sits in the white house..
