Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

Yes, exactly.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

And it's exactly what we saw last year with Europe where he threatened 30% and then he went down and then he made all of these exemptions.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

It seems to me, I mean, again, I always like to remind people

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

taco was a term that was created by Robert Armstrong, who is with us right now.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

I'm someone who generally lands in the taco camp.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

And this is another case of that for me.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

For me, I see this, it's a social media post, he just puts it out there.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

My instinct is taco.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

What is interesting is we're in this dynamic where we're seeing that markets in Europe are selling off, but also it's MLK Day, so the US markets are closed.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

So we don't know what the markets are going to react like tomorrow.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

Yes.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

And by the way, it seems that they do, or at least... Yes.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

I mean, that's what we're hearing with this talk of a trade bazooka, which I've never heard of.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

Right.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

This is what Emmanuel Macron has been suggesting, that they use the anti-coercion instrument.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

They call it the trade bazooka.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

I love that.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

From my understanding, it's basically just some export controls.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

I'm not sure exactly what makes it a bazooka versus any other trade weapon.

Prof G Markets
Europe Braces for Trump’s Greenland Tariffs

Even if it is a taco, I think it probably is.
