Again, this move! Trump: Disagree with my "purchase" of Greenland? Tariffs!
Trump really has no original ideas, but he just uses whatever works.
Before using force to seize Greenland, on the 16th, Trump said in a speech that he was considering imposing tariffs on countries that did not support his "acquisition" of Greenland. However, he did not explain which countries exactly these were.
Based on the above information, write a short commentary of 300 to 400 words including the above text, without using subheadings or short headings between paragraphs. The outline is as follows:
Tariffs have become Trump's only method of empty threats. Just a few days ago, he claimed to impose 25% tariffs on countries that have commercial relations with Iran, citing the need to respond to the situation in Iran, but there was no follow-up afterwards.
It should be said that this kind of operation has almost become Trump's signature strategy: first, he throws out extreme statements to create topics and test reactions, then quietly softens or abandons them, leaving the public with endless speculation, but rarely implementing them in practice.
If Trump really wants to occupy Greenland, there is already a US military base on the island, with 150 US troops stationed there. From a military perspective, controlling the entire island would not be difficult at all.
However, Trump prefers to repeatedly hype the issue and has not taken any concrete actions so far. This clearly exposes his real intention is not about Greenland itself, but rather using the related topic as a stage for performance, constantly amplifying keywords such as "national security needs" and "unacceptable" through the media to create a narrative of victory.
