Trump to Address Global Elites in Davos Amid Tensions Over Greenland

Описание: President Donald Trump will address the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21. He is expected to promote his America First policies and present the United States as the world’s “most successful” country before an audience of the globe’s wealthiest and most influential leaders.

Tensions with European allies over Greenland, however, have taken center stage at this year’s gathering in the Alpine village. Before departing for the summit, Trump expressed confidence that NATO and the United States would reach a deal on the Arctic island that benefits all parties.

“I think that we will work something out where NATO is going to be very happy and where we’re going to be very happy,” Trump said during a press conference at the White House on Jan. 20.

Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland.

“We need it for national security and even world security,” he said. “It’s very important.”

The forum is taking place amid growing tensions between Trump and several European leaders. In recent days, Trump has stepped up his criticism of NATO allies, stating that the alliance would not have survived without his contributions.

“No single person, or President, has done more for NATO than President Donald J. Trump,” he wrote on Truth Social. “If I didn’t come along, there would be no NATO right now!!! It would have been in the ash heap of History. Sad, but TRUE!!!”

On Jan. 17, Trump announced plans to impose 10 percent tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland until a deal is struck to acquire the island. The tariff threat came after these NATO allies sent small contingents of military personnel to the island.

Trump said he would have “a lot of meetings” in Davos focused on Greenland.

When asked about how far he is willing to go to acquire the territory, he responded, “You’ll find out.”

His stance on Greenland and tariff threats has drawn criticism from European leaders attending the Davos summit.
