"This year's Davos meeting occurs at a time when Donald Trump is not just unleashing his brownshirts on Minneapolis and other American cities, but also dismantling the international order that's largely been in place since the end of the second world war threatening Nato, withdrawing from international organizations including the UN climate treaty, violating the UN charter by invading Venezuela and abducting Nicolas Maduro, upending established trade rules, and demanding that the US annex Greenland."
"He's even threatened to hike tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland fellow Nato members that have expressed solidarity with Denmark in its refusal to yield to Trump's demand to annex Greenland. According to a text message Trump sent to Norway's prime minister over the weekend, the US president said one reason he was seeking to acquire Greenland was because he didn't win the Nobel peace prize."
More than 60 prime ministers and presidents, plus hundreds of CEOs and finance leaders, are gathered in Davos for the World Economic Forum. Donald Trump is portrayed as dismantling the postwar international order through threats to NATO, withdrawals from international organizations including the UN climate treaty, violations of the UN Charter via an alleged invasion and abduction in Venezuela, disruptions to established trade rules, and demands that the United States annex Greenland. Trump has threatened tariffs on several NATO allies and sent a message to Norway's prime minister invoking the Nobel Peace Prize. Calls urge Davos leaders to collectively repudiate Trump; he has also threatened legal action against JPMorgan Chase.
