"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."
"Iceland, without tariffs, they wouldn't even be talking to us about it. So we'll see what happens."
President Donald Trump repeatedly mixed up Iceland and Greenland during his World Economic Forum address in Davos, mentioning Iceland four times while apparently referring to Greenland. He linked the mistake to NATO relations, saying he was helping Europe and NATO and suggesting Iceland had cost the U.S. money through a stock-market dip. The president made a similar error during a White House news conference the previous day while discussing tariffs. After earlier coyness about acquiring Greenland, he stated definitively that he would not use force to acquire Greenland.
