"President Donald Trump arrived at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, after a minor electrical issue aboard Air Force One had forced a return to Washington to switch aircraft.Shortly after he landed in Zurich, his Marine One helicopter took him to the site of the international gathering. The White House said arriving late wouldn't push back his scheduled address at the forum in the Swiss Alps-"
"Trump's speech is set to focus on domestic policy. But it may touch on Greenland as well as the U.S. military operation that led to the recent ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.On Thursday, Trump plans to more heavily lean into foreign policy, including discussing hemispheric domination by Washington, and the "Board of Peace" he's creating to oversee the U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Israel's war with Hamas."
"Trump comes to the international forum at Davos on the heels of threatening steep U.S. import taxes on Denmark and seven other allies unless they negotiate a transfer of the semi-autonomous territory-a concession the European leaders indicated they are not willing to make.Trump said the tariffs would start at 10% next month and climb to 25% in June, rates that would be high enough to increase costs and slow growth, potentially hurting Trump's efforts to tamp down the high cost of living."

Officials said Thursday's agenda will emphasize foreign policy, including hemispheric influence and a "Board of Peace" to oversee a U.S.-brokered Israel-Hamas ceasefire. Trump also threatened tariffs on Denmark and seven allies over Greenland.
