Nationalization of foreign assets occurs at an extreme level of hostility that stable European governments would have no chance of doing, unless it had been done first by the other side. It is the kind of thing that happened in Venezuela.

I see the point. But I would not underestimate the grit of Europeans when backed into a corner, like this

The USA a Europe had very friendly relations for decades, that has changed overnight.

All bets are off


As a reference point, the US has not nationalized Russian or Chinese national's assets. Nationalization is much worse than poor diplomatic relations, on a scale of retaliation it is close to war.


You may have missed the point where Trump is threatening to annex land ruled by Denmark.
