Washington (dpo) - Chances for the US team winning their first World Cup group match against Paraguay have risen significantly today: US President Donald Trump has threatened the South American country with hefty punitive tariffs if the Paraguayan national team defeats the US squad.

"Think very carefully about what kind of football you want to play on Saturday," Trump threatened during an appearance in the Oval Office, before holding up a leather folder. "This executive order establishes punitive tariffs of 100 percent on all goods from Paraguay. I just have to sign it. Do you want that? It’s your choice. Los Choiceos tuos, as they say."...

Administration officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expect that the USA's other two group opponents, Australia and Turkey, will soon receive similar incentives.

yes. Difficult to dismiss such stories as satire outright these days, isn‘t it - given „Trump publicly said his administration would reduce drug prices by “1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%”“ for example was real.

I marked it as OT ;-)
