Davos live: Trump to address world leaders amid Greenland standoff after minor electrical issue' on Air Force One
"President Trump is in the air again and headed to Davos, CNN report. A new aircraft began rolling down the tarmac at 12:02 a.m., according to the White House press pool. They add: The crew on the plane was hustling to make the transition, quickly moving boxes of fruit, wrapped sandwiches and beverages in and out. Others, outside on the ground, were seen pulling about a dozen suitcases off the plane and placing them onto a truck."
"Asked about Newsom's claim yesterday that he was a smug man, Bessent shoots back that the governor may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. Bessent says Newsom is here in Davos this week with his billionaire sugar daddy Alex Soros, accusing him of hobnobbing with the global elite while California has the largest homeless population in America."
"Q: Are you going to start a trade war with Europe, and is it worth risking the US economy for Greenland? Scott Bessent says he's not sure what message the eight European countries who chose to send troops to Greenland were sending. President Trump has made it clear that the US will not outsource its national security, he adds. And he accuses our partner, the UK, of letting us down with the base on Diego Garcia by turning it over to Mauritius."
President Trump departed for Davos on a newly prepared aircraft that rolled down the tarmac at 12:02 a.m., with crew members rapidly transferring food, beverages, and luggage. Scott Bessent sharply criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, accusing him of economic ignorance compared with Kamala Harris and of hobnobbing with global elites alongside Alex Soros while California faces a large homeless population. Bessent questioned the motives of European troop deployments to Greenland, emphasized that the United States will not outsource national security, and accused the UK of mishandling the Diego Garcia base transfer. He urged patience to hear President Trump's Davos arguments and cautioned against Swiss adoption of EU-style bureaucracy and economic sclerosis.
