California Governor Gavin Newsom called out European leaders for failing to push back on President Donald Trump's aspirations to annex Greenland. Newsom's comments come amid a reluctance among European leaders for pushing back against the US over Trump's repeated comments of wanting to take control of the territory.
Speaking to reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Newsom emphasised the importance of Europeans to push back against Trump's demands for the territory. The Democratic governor said Europeans were being taken for fools over Trump, and also criticised the failed efforts to mediate the situation with the Trump administration. Newsom said that what has been done so far is 'not diplomacy. It's stupidity.'
