"The week at the World Economic Forum in Davos has strengthened the ranks of its opponents, with a shift among numerous European leaders including figures from the far right, theoretically close to Trump who have abandoned their usual conciliatory attitudes and are now opting for firm rejection in the face of his abuses and insults. In this way, albeit without formal coordination, they are joining the group of countries that refuse to yield, such as China, India, Canada, and Brazil."
"This renewed momentum also stems from the fresh realization that an opposition capable of triggering market turbulence is an effective tool. Faced with European resolve and stock-market volatility, Trump withdrew within hours his threat to forcibly annex Greenland and his warning of new tariffs against European countries that defend Danish sovereignty over the territory. Examples of the effectiveness of a firm stance combined with the ability to inflict economic damage."
The World Economic Forum in Davos strengthened global opposition to Trumpism as numerous European leaders, including far-right figures, abandoned conciliatory attitudes and opted for firm rejection in response to abuses and insults. Several European countries, without formal coordination, joined nations such as China, India, Canada, and Brazil in refusing to yield. The renewed momentum drew from a fresh realization that opposition capable of triggering market turbulence is an effective tool. Faced with European resolve and stock-market volatility, Trump withdrew his threat to annex Greenland and his warning of new tariffs. Previous examples include China restricting strategic raw-material exports and Gulf financial pressure that constrained Israeli actions.
