Letter: EU: Two can play the extortion game

Congress, you could be in a double bind. See how your constituents like this, if you don’t act immediately against Greenland tariff threats and “buying a country.” If Trump continues, the EU should begin instituting 15 percent tariffs on all US agricultural products. Throw in alcohol, metals, planes. Systematically begin cashing in US bonds, exposing our debt. Invest in German Bund, other countries welcoming investment. EU, keep escalating, responding to Trump.

Congress, you could alleviate a financial disaster. Do your constitutionally mandated job. Control the megalomaniac avoiding the Epstein files and disrupting world balance: 1) Grow a spine and take control of Trump’s Greenland tantrum. You hold the purse, the law. Rule against him. Don’t fund defense. Don’t allow tariffs. (Is the Supreme Court waiting for you?) 2) Demand release of unredacted Epstein files. 3) Then, once courageous, impeach Trump for corruption in acquiring billions while holding office, laws broken, and likely pedophilia. If you don’t our economy could dump as EU says “checkmate.”
