Donald Trump took the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos and delivered an hour-long speech where he addressed the issues that have been plaguing his second term in the White House — from Somali immigrants in Minnesota to his relationship with Gavin Newsom. But Greenland grabbed all the headlines, because nobody truly knew how Trump would address the touchy subject in front of European leaders.
Tensions were at an all-time high even before Trump set foot in Switzerland. In multiple press conferences, he had suggested that “military options” were not out of the question when it came to acquiring Greenland from Denmark. And considering his approach to Venezuela just recently, NATO leadership knew better than to dismiss his threats as empty talk. But during his Davos speech, Trump announced that military options are no longer on the table.
