US President Donald Trump arrives in Davos on Wednesday for talks with European leaders over Greenland, after renewing claims that the United States needs the Arctic territory for national and global security and promising a “very positive” outcome. The showdown comes as European leaders warn against power politics and struggle to agree on how to respond.
Trump is due to speak at the World Economic Forum a day after French President Emmanuel Macron used the Davos stage to denounce what he called “the law of the strongest”. Macron said he preferred “respect rather than bullies” and “the rule of law rather than brutality”, in an implicit response to Trump’s ambitions for Greenland.
