Donald Trump reiterates his position at the Davos Forum. During his long-awaited speech, the president assured that his country is “the only one in the world” that can guarantee the security of Greenland. For this reason, he wants the international event to serve to “immediately negotiate the purchase of Greenland.
Although in his first statements he has argued that he does not want to resort to force and that he will not do so, he has once again issued a threat: “We want a piece of ice to protect the world, and they don’t give it to us. They can say yes. [a Europa] and we will appreciate it very much. “They can say no and we will remember.”
“We paid, in my opinion, 100% of NATO, because they did not pay their bills and all we are asking is to take Greenland, including ownership, because we need to be the owners to defend it,” defended the US president. Likewise, he wanted to remember that during World War II they defended that territory on behalf of Denmark.
The American president has once again attacked NATO. “The only thing we have gotten from NATO is to protect Europe from the Soviet Union and now from Russia. I mean, we have helped them for many years. We have never gotten anything except paying for NATO, and we have done that for many years, until I came along,” Trump said.
But not only the Alliance. Also Europe: “It is not moving in the right direction. It must correct it.” Furthermore, he has warned that if the United States falls, Europe will fall with them, and that if, on the contrary, the Americans advance, the Europeans will follow them, in an effort to link common interests on both sides of the Atlantic despite the tensions regarding Greenland.
The president criticized the “conventional wisdom” that has led to an increase in public spending: “Massive uncontrolled immigration in countless foreign imports.” “I love Europe and I want Europe to do well, but it is not moving in the right direction,” the president insisted. Likewise, and as usual, he took the opportunity to criticize renewable energy policies and the low cost of defense in NATO.
