Time to educate Trump in the fine art of export tariffs.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:
”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump's and Vice President Vance's resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."
Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump's selflessness.
We know he won't.
Aside: I'm not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let's take this one thing at a time.
Government: Runs into crowd of friends while winging haymakers.
Friends: JFC what the hell dude!?
Government: Fuck you, now give me your house. ... ... ... Can you spot me $50 until payday?
European nations, please say that you will export eggs only when the idiots are out of power.
I fucking hate living in the US. It's embarrassing.
I propose a deal. It could be known as the best deal ever! The US ramps up support of Ukraine, so they can finally beat Russia and get peace. Then invite Ukraine into NATO. This also forms a buffer for Europe against Russia. Then Europe will send you all the eggs you need, for free.
A simple "Fuck off America" would suffice
Hi, please don't. Let us suffer so these fuckers can hurt more. - Californian
As a true American, don't help us with eggs, it'l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.
Get on your knees and beg, donny.
only if you kick russia out of Ukraine.
Hold the line Denmark. Don't pull a fucking Australia. Fuck those guys.
The world: How much are your eggs?
Trump: $100
The world: Sure we'll help... that will be $99.
Ask Canada… oh, wait!
WOMP WOMP WOMP, EH?
Just picked up 2 dozen local eggs for $9.99CAD.
Fuck kinda pricey bud. Where abouts?
Local farmers market in 'Berta.
This is why we HAD allies. Had. To assist with the largesse we consume as Americans. You don’t get to swing your orange dick around at the world, offending and assaulting every ally, and then ask for help.
Rest of the world: “No”
Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don't need no allies.
We'll help out, but it will take some weeks. Those eggs don't become rotten in a day.
Is this some kind of sick joke?? Get fucked.
Oh now Trump wants allies?
Recognize the passive voice: "The US has reached out". They don't say Trump reached out or the Trump administration reached out.
Non
Non
Lay your own eggs, turkey looking cunt.
If we did, we couldn’t import them and charge a tariff to bleed our people dry one egg at a time until they are broke and slaves on the corporate plantation.
Oh? I was under the impression you didn't need us lesser and grifter nations? That we took you for a ride?
Hm... I propose a fair trade - you might even call if "the best deal ever". Our eggs, for your cards.
Wait, I forgot. Your cards lost their value recently, as they couldn't do shit for Ukraine against our common enemy.
So Trump can't get it under control. Got it.
Well, he solved it on day one.
On day two, eggs went unexpectedly expensive again. It's not his fault.
Do not help us. This is what we deserve.
What's ironic is that from all countries he is asking Denmark. Greenland is Ann autonomous territory under the kingdom of Greenland.
I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well.
I think you meant "kingdom of Denmark" there, but yeah
Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real.
I think that's the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then "asking" them for help. Then if they don't oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn't want on their homeland.
💯
Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.
Americas chickens coming home to roost
Canada here. Our eggs are cheap.
You want em?
Take your trade war agression and shove it up your ass!
You want to take our sovereignty away?
…starve.
Brb going to throw eggs across the border
