DAVOS: The US is the world’s “economic engine,” President Donald Trump claimed at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.
“The USA is the economic engine on the planet. And when America booms, the entire world booms. It’s been the history,” he told the audience in Davos, where the Greenland crisis has dominated talks.
On Europe, the US leader said parts of continent were “not recognizable,” adding: “I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good, but it’s not heading in the right direction.”
The president demanded “immediate” talks on Washington’s acquisition of Greenland, renewing his push to seize control of the autonomous territory from NATO ally Denmark.
“It’s the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it,” Trump said. “That’s the reason I’m seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States.”
