"I'm helping Europe, I am helping NATO, and until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me, Trump said of NATO allies."
"I don't know that they'd be here for us, Trump said. They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money."
"No he didn't, Libby [sic]. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a piece of ice because that's what it is, fired back the press secretary on X. You're the only one mixing anything up here."
President Donald Trump referenced Iceland multiple times during a Davos speech while discussing NATO and U.S. interests, including blaming Iceland for a recent stock market dip. Several observers and reporters noted that Trump appeared to be referring to Greenland but repeatedly said Iceland instead. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded on X by denying that the president confused the two countries and admonished a reporter who flagged the mix-up. Media figures and analysts questioned the denial and pointed to audio and transcripts showing repeated references that sounded like a conflation of Greenland and Iceland.
