TACO, again: Trump calls off tariffs on Europe over Greenland after reaching deal 'framework'

In an abrupt about-face on Wednesday, President Trump said he was calling off planned tariffs on European nations over his pursuit of Greenland. Trump cited the "framework of a future deal" reached with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

"This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

... then hundreds if not thousands of American soldiers will die. The Europeans have anti air and anti ship missiles.
