medium article 3 min

Faisal Islam, reporting from Davos, describes Donald Trump's appearance at the World Economic Forum. Trump received a warm welcome initially, but the speech took a turn as he discussed America's role in the past and then insulted Europe's economy. He then announced he was seeking immediate negotiations for the USA to acquire Greenland, wanting "full title" to the land. He also warned Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his words a day earlier. The event was marked by high security and a packed room, with some attendees being turned away. Prior to Trump's speech, his Commerce Secretary reportedly told an audience that Europe's economy was "dead," leading to a walkout.
