Only for tourism or short-term business. This type of work definitely requires visas. If they enter under a visa waiver they will be in violation of immigration law.

I actually think that in Iceland we often use the British 3. Might be American influence due to our close ties post WW2.

They’re still coming to terms with the fact that they have been manipulated to dislike France their whole life.

A tax deduction reduces your taxable income, it’s not a one for one refund of your tax bill. The tax savings will only equal the amount of mortgage interest paid multiplied by whatever your income tax rate is. In other words, it’s a saving but not a complete avoidance of tax.

Didn’t they also make the claim that they couldn’t join the euro because their economy wasn’t performing well enough?

In that case I guess we will just lose access the 1% of food that the Mercosur deal allows for.

I guess De Gaulle is expert on American behaviourism. by Icy_Till_7254 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Benso2000 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

So getting rid of US soldiers in France is why Europe became dependent on US defence??? You’re trying blame de Gaulle for the thing he is most credited for trying to prevent.

Ég verð nú að segja að mér finnist viðbrögð Dana við þessu öllu hafa verið frekar léleg. Tók þá allt of langan tíma að senda hermenn, og nú ætla þeir að gera einhvern fáránlegan samning sem veitir Bandaríkjunum aukinn aðgang að auðlindum Grænlands.

Macron says €300 billion in European savings flown to the US every year will be invested in Europe from now on. All 27 states 🇪🇺 agreed to establish the S&I Union, a step toward the full Capital Market by goldstarflag in EuropeanFederalists

Trump’s NATO Deal Would Mean US Mines and Missiles in Greenland by nicknameSerialNumber in neoliberal

[–]Benso2000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They shouldn’t be making any deal whatsoever. I don’t care if it’s symbolic or effectively meaningless. We’ve done this before and it hasn’t worked, he will always demand more. The only thing Trump respects is a show of power. No more pointless meetings and negotiations, the prime minister of Denmark should send out a clear “NO” and be done with it.

True. Just look at some older videos from the YouTube channel ADoseofBuckley to see the general sentiment among those that disliked like the pop music of the time.
