President Donald Trump declares at Davos that the U.S. is the only nation capable of securing Greenland for national security reasons during his World Economic Forum speech.

By Anthony Deutsch, Andrew Gray, Lili Bayer and John Irish AMSTERDAM/BRUSSELS, Jan 22 (Reuters) - As tensions over Greenland between Donald Trump and Europe neared boiling point this week, NATO boss Mark Rutte cemented his reputation as a "Trump whisperer" after the U.

Trump told an audience in Davos on Wednesday that a possible purchase of the semi-autonomous territory should not be seen as a threat to Nato.

President Donald Trump’s Wednesday speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland was filled with inaccurate claims – notably including false and misleading statements about NATO and Greenland, the self-governing Danish territory he is pushing for the US to acquire.

NATO chief Mark Rutte defends Trump's impact on European defense spending, saying allies wouldn't have reached 2% GDP targets without his pressure.

President Trump signed the founding charter of his Board of Peace without major U.S. allies on Thursday then met with Ukraine's President Zelenskyy.

Trump’s stunning turn on Greenland has once again shone the spotlight on the NATO secretary general, who has emerged as a pivotal figure for a frazzled Europe struggling to get through to the US president.
