NY Times - Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada delivered a stark speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, prompting global political and corporate leaders in the audience to rise from their seats for a rare standing ovation. He described the end of the era underpinned by United States hegemony, calling the current phase “a rupture.” He never mentioned President Trump by name, but his reference was clear.
The Hill - President Trump on Wednesday made his case for the U.S. to acquire Greenland before a swath of foreign leaders gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland...
“Would you like me to say a few words on Greenland?” Trump asked the audience. “I was going to leave it out of the speech but I thought ‘I think I would have been reviewed very negatively.'”
Trump noted that he has “tremendous respect for the people of Greenland and Denmark,” but “the fact is no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland, other than the United States.”
He also suggested the U.S. would not use force to take over the island.
Hartmann Report - Trump went to Davos this morning and gave the speech that Vladimir Putin wanted him to, lying and pissing off Europe and shaking the North Atlantic alliance to its core.
Our president has refused to help out Ukraine in any meaningful way for a year now, giving Russia the room to destroy much of that country’s electric and heat infrastructure so badly that President Zelenskyy had to cancel his trip to Davos to deal with the crisis.
....Russian media is proudly proclaiming that their own internal crackdowns on immigrants, dissidents, and people of color aren’t so bad because Trump’s doing the same thing in America. We’ve legitimized Putin’s racist police state.
Trump’s destroyed much of America’s “soft power,” our friendly relations with resource-rich developing nations, by killing off John F. Kennedy’s USAID program, directly causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people with more to come.
