Trump Unleashed In Davos!

U.S. President Donald Trump  goes right into the heart of the beast — the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland — to impress upon the Europeans that they must out a deal with the United States over Greenland. It doesn’t necessarily mean Greenland becomes a U.S. territory.

It could simply mean housing elements of the Golden Dome, the U.S. missile defense system that Trump plans to use to protect against any Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) fired from Russia against Washington D.C.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spells out varied options.

Trump highlighted all that the United States has done to protect Europe, ranging from stationing American troops in Germany to aiding the European Union’s campaign to safeguard the Ukraine. But he also rattled a stick, warning of tariffs and sterner measures if the security concerns of the United States go unaddressed.

Funny how now that the defense issue at hand involves North American, the Europeans aren’t so cooperative as they always expected from us. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.

Mind you, not all of the Europeans are hardened globalists or absolute turncoats. There are leaders of individual nations taking a more open approach.

Here, commentator Steve Turley discusses the arguments of Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. She said European and North American countries need to frame “a coordinated presence” in the Arctic region to prevent tensions and interference “from other actors.”

As the evening drew to a close, details leaked on a major new deal that will preserve Greenland’s independent status as well as its ties to Denmark and Europe, but there will apparently be provisions to allow the United States to proceed with the Golden Dome.

The United States will also employ its expertise with mining to help Greenland develop its rare earth minerals. This will provide for a new source of these minerals to be obtained without bending the knee to Communist China or Russia.

This looks like a classic example of The Art of the Deal. Trump wanted changes, but had no desire to invade Greenland or seize it as territory. He simply wanted this stretch of North America to reflect some North American sensibilities and needs. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.
