Trump Threatens 'Big Retaliation' If Europe Dumps US Assets

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump vowed “big retaliation” if European countries sell US assets in response to his tariff threats related to Greenland, adding pressure on them to stick with an emerging deal over the future of the island.

“If they do, they do. But you know, if that would happen, there would be a big retaliation on our part,” Trump said Thursday during a Fox Business interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “And we have all the cards.”

Concerted seling by Europe (if they get private entities there on board as well) would completely fuck the US. What does he think he can do?

The interest on the debt alone would consume more than all of the tax collected. Long bonds would hover around, what? 20%?
