Description

Donald Trump will today deliver a speech to world leaders in Davos, Switzerland, after doubling down on his threats to take control of Greenland. The US President is set to speak at the World Economic Forum - where French President Macron warned yesterday of a "shift towards a world without rules". Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that Europe is “fully prepared to act if necessary” over Trump's threats to apply retaliatory tariffs on eight European countries. Trump’s arrival is set to be delayed by several hours after a “minor electrical issue” on Air Force One forced the US delegation to turn back.

The whole “taking Greenland for security” argument coming from a country with 700+ military bases worldwide is hilarious.

The 'signal' that that is intended to give, Scottie-boy, is Foxtrot Oscar. As to Diego Garcia, Trump and Rubio were quite happy with the deal in May.
