President Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland, stating there is "no going back," ahead of his planned visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos. When asked how far he would go to acquire the territory, he declined to comment. This comes after warnings from other world leaders about a shift away from established global rules. Trump's arrival in Davos was delayed due to a minor electrical issue on Air Force One. Greenland's minister of industry and natural resources stated that Greenlanders do not want to be Americans and are bewildered by Trump's demands. Trump also discussed NATO, questioning whether member states would come to the aid of the US, while also claiming he has done more for NATO than anyone.
