Trump Speaks In Davos, Addresses Greenland
6 days ago
President Donald Trump took the stage at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, using his global address to promote America’s economic strength, energy dominance, and America-First agenda.
Trump highlighted what he called the United States’ economic resurgence, crediting tariffs and domestic production for making the U.S. “the economic engine on the planet.” He contrasted that success with Europe, criticizing high energy costs and wind power, saying European nations are “destroying themselves” with policies that weaken growth.
A major focus of Trump’s remarks was Greenland, which he described as a critical strategic asset for U.S. and global security. The president called the Arctic territory “our territory,” arguing that American control is necessary to protect international shipping lanes and national security interests. Trump emphasized that he does not intend to use force, but said immediate negotiations with Denmark are needed.
The president also addressed Venezuela, predicting its oil industry will thrive with U.S. involvement and cooperation, and reiterated that American leadership is key to stabilizing global energy markets.
Trump’s speech was punctuated with humor and sharp one-liners that drew laughter and applause from the Davos audience, underscoring his message that America’s economic model — not global bureaucracy — is driving growth and prosperity.
