Denmark in ‘crisis mode’ after ‘horrendous’ phone call from Trump demanding to buy Greenland

Denmark is in “crisis mode” after Donald Trump made a direct play for Greenland in a “horrendous” phone call with the country’s prime minister.

The US president spoke to Mette Frederiksen, the Danish premier, for 45 minutes last week and made clear he wanted to place Greenland under American control.

The autonomous Arctic territory has been owned by Denmark since 1814, but Mr Trump thinks it would be a valuable asset in the US’s strategic competition against Russia and China.

Trump to WEF: America First

On Thursday, Donald Trump delivered to the World Economic Forum his speech for his second inauguration, this time as leader of the free world—a duty no Democrat president has embraced since JFK. President Trump did not bother to fly to Davos because he has better things to do than waste 8 hours flying there and 8 hours back. He sent a video.

He not only says and acts America First, he lives it.

Has Trump killed Davos Man?

The annual World Economic Forum (WEF) arrived in Davos, Switzerland this week with unusually little fanfare. The world’s eyes were instead fixed on Washington, DC and on Donald Trump’s second inauguration as US president. Even those at the WEF were focussed primarily on the United States.

Trump skewers Bank of America boss for ‘BANNING conservatives’ in excruciating Davos exchange

President Donald Trump attacked Bank of America for failing to lend to conservatives during a sudden attack during a livestream speech to execs and elites in Davos.

The sudden blast came in an angry speech where Trump vowed to slap tariffs on countries that don’t manufacture inside the U.S. and demanded OPEC lower oil prices.

During a question-and-answer period, the bank’s CEO Brian Moynihan asked a softball question about how his executive orders would impact his push for economic growth and market growth.

Full address.

Trump takes on the climatecrats

Donald Trump has pulled America out of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement for the second time. The new US president signed an executive order following his inauguration yesterday, reversing the decision of his predecessor, Joe Biden, to drag the US back into the agreement in 2021. Bizarrely, like some dodgy insurance scam, the rules of the climatocracy say it takes a year to withdraw from the deal, so not until next winter will America be free of its obligations to reduce its emissions.

Trump Ended Birthright Citizenship, but Legal Challenges Are Doomed to Fail

President Donald Trump was so busy on his first day in office that it’s been a challenge to cover everything that he did.

The best way to know which are the best ones to discuss is to look at the way Democrats are reacting to them. His pardon of J6 prisoners was a big one; they’re really up in arms about that. Another one was his executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants in the United States.

Trump threatens Russia with taxes, tariffs, sanctions if ‘ridiculous’ Ukraine war not ended

President Trump on Wednesday threatened to impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia if there is no deal to stop the fighting in Ukraine “soon.”

“I’m not looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with President Putin – and this despite the Radical Left’s Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX,” Trump posted on Truth Social, referencing a special counsel investigation into any coordination between his 2016 campaign and Moscow.

“All of that being said, I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,” Trump continued.
