Trump The American President of the united states of America.
President Donald Trump launched a fresh blitz of aggressive messages aimed at NATO allies over his determination to take control of greenland, ratcheting up tensions with European leaders just as he prepares to attend the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
The escalating argument over the Arctic island has threatened to reignite a trade war with Europe and upend the NATO alliance that has underpinned Western security for decades.
Trump shared a message sent to him from Macron that said, “I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.” A French official confirmed the message’s authenticity to USA TODAY.
Trump also posted a doctored image that showed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen sitting in the White House’s Oval Office next to a map showing Greenland and Canada as American territory. He posted a separate AI image that depicts him him planting an American flag on Greenland alongside Vice President JD Vance
and U.S. Secretary of State.
The onslaught of messages came as European Union leaders discussing possible retaliatory tariffs on US imports worth $108 billion after Trump announced tariffs on European allies who oppose his position on Greenland, which is an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Trump has insisted he will “get” Greenland for the U.S., by force if necessary.
Speaking from Davos on Jan. 20, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Trump’s new tariff threats go against a trade deal the two sides hammered out last summer. “And when friends shake hands, it must mean something,” she said.
Trump over the weekend told the prime minister of Norway that his single-minded push to obtain Greenland was linked to his disappointment at Not receiving noble peace prize.
