"Trump said on Wednesday that he will not use force to get Greenland, but is "seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition" by the US. Trump's ongoing threats against Europe over his desire to take over Greenland have been dominating this year's Davos agenda. All eyes were on Trump during his 70-minute-long speech, with billionaire CEOs - including Apple's Tim Cook and Salesforce's Marc Benioff - alongside heads of state filling up Congress Hall to hear what he had to say."
"Citadel's CEO and founder Ken Griffin said Trump had an "important message to deliver to a European audience that, bluntly, needs to do better. Europe's economic growth lags far behind America." "The commitment of the American people to defend our country runs deep. The commitment of the Europeans to defend their countries - if you look at surveys of the population - is not nearly as strong," he added."
