Everything you need to know as Donald Trump launches rant in Davos

1. Donald Trump was in Davos, Switzerland, to deliver an address at the World Economic Forum following concerns over his intensifying aggression toward the allied territory of Greenland.
2. He accused Denmark of being “ungrateful” for the protection the United States gave Greenland during World War II – and urged them to give it back.
3. Last weekend, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK issued a joint statement after Trump threatened new tariffs until a deal was reached on Greenland.
4. The US President said he was seeking “immediate negotiations” to acquire Greenland, telling the audience: “It’s the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice.”
5. Trump spoke on military action, saying: “We never ask for anything and we never got anything, we probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force… We would be frankly unstoppable, but I won’t do that. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force”.
6. He went on to make a chilling threat, saying: “So we want a piece of ice for world protection and they won’t give it. So they have a choice. You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no and we will remember.”
7. He also claimed America “won World War II”, telling a silent room they would “all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps” if it weren’t for the US
8. He said America is experiencing an “economic miracle” under his presidency, with economic growth the size that “no country has ever seen before”.
9. Trump addressed migration too, claiming Europe was introducing “entirely different populations from far away lands”, before adding: “Certain places in Europe are not even recognisable anymore”.
10. He also offered an update on the peace deal in Ukraine and revealed: “I’m dealing with President Putin and he wants to make a deal, I believe. I’m dealing with President Zelensky and I think he wants to make a deal. I’m meeting him today”.
