NEWS UPDATE : Trump Proposes "Immediate Negotiations" to Acquire Greenland in Provocative Davos Address
On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, President Donald Trump delivered a major special address at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. His remarks focused on his administration's pursuit of Greenland, international trade, and his "Board of Peace" initiative.
Key Highlights from the Davos Speech
Greenland Acquisition: Trump called for "immediate negotiations" to acquire Greenland from Denmark, framing it as a move only the U.S. could take to "protect this giant mass of land". He explicitly ruled out the use of force, stating, "I won’t use force".
Criticism of NATO and Europe: He criticized European nations for "unchecked mass migration" and high government spending, claiming parts of Europe are "not even recognizable". He also stated that the U.S. receives "so little in return" for its contributions to NATO.
U.S. Economy: Trump touted an "economic miracle" under his presidency, citing low inflation and high growth, which he attributed in part to raising tariffs on foreign nations.
Board of Peace & UN: He discussed his newly established "Board of Peace," suggesting it was necessary because the United Nations "could do more" but often fails to assist in settling conflicts.
Foreign Relations: Trump mentioned his dealings with President Putin regarding Ukraine, expressing belief that Putin "wants to make a deal".
Preceding Events
The Davos address followed a long, 80-minute press briefing held at the White House late Tuesday, January 20, before he departed for Switzerland. During that briefing, he addressed similar themes, including the ouster of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, which he declared a "major success".
