U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday some areas of Europe are no longer recognizable — and that the continent was “not heading in the right direction.”
Trump lauded what he described as economic growth “like no country has ever seen before” in the U.S. during his highly-anticipated speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“Friends come back from different places – I don’t want to insult anybody – and say, I don’t recognize it. And that’s not in a positive way, that’s in a very negative way,” Trump said.
“I love Europe and I want to see Europe go good, but it’s not heading in the right direction.”
His speech comes after global leaders condemned his aggressive approach to seeking to annex Greenland, which he said he would seek “immediate” negotiations over.
