Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, ran laps around host Kristen Welker and schooled her on hostile questions about the United States’ pursuit of Greenland.
@tgwp.comAs The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, President Trump slapped Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland with 10% tariffs, effective February 1, in response to troop movements to defend NATO from US forces.
“China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake,” Trump said.
The 10% tariff will increase to 25% on June 1, and will be “due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” Trump said.
In another segment of the interview, Bessent schooled Welker on the necessity of preventing adversaries from taking over Greenland, when she suggested that the NATO tariffs, which are a tool for negotiating a deal for the acquisition of Greenland, would "undercut the United States' word."
Welker also tried to imply that there is no national emergency over a future threat to the US homeland when Bessent described the move as a "strategic decision" to avoid war.
"What if, during the great financial crisis, someone had raised their hand in 2005, 2006, and said, Stop with subprime mortgages?" Bessent said. "But no one did. President Trump is raising his hand, and that is preventing the emergency."
Welker: You're saying it's a national emergency, but you're also saying it's a threat that's years away. How can both be true, Mr. Secretary?
Bessent: Because we're avoiding creating the emergency. Kristen. What if, during the great financial crisis, someone had raised their hand in 2005, 2006 and said, stop with subprime mortgages? But no one did. President Trump is raising his hand and that is preventing the emergency.
This is a good thumbnail showing the true Kristen Welker, a wild-eyed, woke loon woman who appears deranged every single week. She tries her best to undercut everything and anything the Trump administration does with no effectiveness or advantage to her or her network. The leftist National Broadcasting Company would not have it any other way, and they have been like that for decades. She and they are simply Democrats who are out of control.
