Trump Targets European Allies in Lengthy Speech at Davos
In a speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday, President Trump reasserted his ambitions to seize Greenland, but pledged to not use force.

And I love Europe and I want to see Europe go good. But it’s not heading in the right direction. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland. I don’t know that they’d be there for us. They’re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money. Without us — without us, most of the countries don’t even work. I believe they’re at a point now where they can come together and get a deal done. And if they don’t, they’re stupid. I don’t want to insult anyone, but you got to get this deal done.
