In a lengthy Truth Social post, he said “Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown”, adding: “This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet.” The US president said 10% tariffs will be imposed on all goods the countries export to the United States from 1 February, followed by a 25% rate from 1 June. “This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” he added.

A dimly lit room in Paris with a large wooden table at its center. French and American diplomats are gathered around, with Napoleon Bonaparte and American representatives signing the Louisiana Purchase Treaty. The atmosphere is tense yet historic, with maps and documents spread across the table. The quill in Napoleon's hand is poised over the parchment, capturing the moment of signing.
On Apr 30, 1803, the U.S. bought 827,000 sq mi from France for $15M, doubling its size & paving the way for westward expansion. #LouisianaPurchase
