In this address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Donald Trump outlines his strategic vision for the United States, focusing heavily on the acquisition of Greenland. He asserts that 'no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the United States,' framing the island as a core national security interest situated between the US, Russia, and China. Trump criticises Denmark's defense spending and suggests that the US should have retained the territory after World War II. Beyond Greenland, he discusses his foreign policy record, claiming to have settled eight international conflicts, including the India-Pakistan dispute, within a single year. He also addresses the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, reiterating his stance that the conflict would never have started under his leadership. Furthermore, Trump demands increased contributions from NATO allies, claiming he successfully pushed for a five per cent GDP spending requirement. The speech also touches upon domestic grievances regarding the 2020 election and media bias.
