Here’s how iPINIONS thinks EU leaders should respond: Sure, Don TACO, just like you’re “considering” invading Iran.

As Trump rambled about Greenland and NATO, Mark Carney warned of a rupture in the world order, and called on middle powers to hold together what America built but Trump is unraveling. iPINIONS dissects the humiliation, the irony, and the… Read more.
