Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is having a catastrophic Sunday after he announced that he's now imposing 15% tariffs against the world, unlawfully invoking Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act. After having his other tariffs against the world struck down by the United Supreme Court, Here are the announcements coming in this morning on Sunday. European Parliament is announcing that tomorrow on Monday, they will be proposing a freeze to the ratification of the European Union trade agreement with the United States in response to Donald Trump's new chaotic 15% tariffs against the world.

In France, they summoned Charles Kushner, who's the ambassador to France. He's also Jared Kushner's father. He was also a convicted felon who Donald Trump pardoned back in 2020. And he's being summoned because he and the State Department are interfering with domestic affairs in France. And they are trying to say, oh, France better focus on its left-wing extremism. And France is like, let us deal with our internal issues and please be quiet. So Kushner has been summoned. Also, the people in Greenland are furious yet again at the Trump regime because They should be. Donald Trump continues to attack the sovereignty of Greenland like the despicable predator that he is. Donald Trump's been posting these bizarre messages about sending hospital ships and hospital boats to save the people of Greenland.

And people are like, what are you talking about? We have universal health care in Greenland. We don't need your boats in any event. The boats that Donald Trump claims he's sending, the Mercy and the Comfort, are currently undergoing long-term maintenance in Alabama.

How are countries like India and France reacting to Trump's tariffs?

It should be noted the people in Greenland are also terrified because one of the things that they think this could be used as is a Trojan horse for an invasion of Greenland. And one of the reasons they think this as well, in addition to Donald Trump threatening to invade Greenland is that a nuclear submarine just surfaced off the coast of Greenland because someone on the ship was dying and needed medical help. And the people in Greenland saved this American life. who was on this submarine. But then it turned out that this submarine, a nuclear submarine, was on the coast of Greenland in the first place, which was not known to the Greenlandic people. And that nuclear submarine was there the same time the King of Denmark, Frederick X, was visiting Greenland.

So Greenland saved a submariner who was off the coast of Greenland. And then Trump said, we're going to be sending our ships to save the people of Greenland who are dying in Greenland. People are like, what the hell are you even talking about? And then the Greenlandic people learned that the submarines were off the coast of their ship. So what's Donald Trump doing in response to all of this? Well, he sent Jameson Greer, his trade representative, to make the rounds on various cable news networks and TV shows this weekend to do the Sunday shows. And here's what Jameson Greer said when he was confronted on ABC's This Week with the fact that these tariffs are not popular. The American people hate it. And so your plan...

after the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs against the world, are now to impose new tariffs? against the world by now invoking another law. I mean, previously you invoked IEPA, which you didn't have the right to by claiming that there is an emergency to regulate import and exports. The Supreme Court said no way. Now, under this Trade Act of 1974, which really deals with currency manipulation, and it does not deal with anything that's relating to any conduct that's out there right now. I mean, it's nothing to do with trade deficits at all. It has to deal with payments and And when there's big kind of payment incongruity and catastrophes in payment systems going around the world is when you can invoke this thing.
