Trump Pushes Greenland Deal at Davos, Criticizes Europe and Canada

On Jan. 21, 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He declared the U.S. as the planet’s economic engine and said the country must acquire Greenland “posthaste” for strategic security. Trump promised not to use military force but called for “immediate negotiations,” citing Denmark’s refusal. He withdrew a tariff threat set to take effect Feb. 1 on European countries and said he would meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump also mocked European policies, blamed NATO allies for defending only what they paid for, and criticized Canadian PM Mark Carney’s comments on “economic integration as coercion.”
