US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (January 21) delivered sharp criticism of Europe’s trajectory while addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, saying parts of the continent were “not even recognisable” and warning that it was “not heading in the right direction.”
“I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good,” Trump said. “But it’s not heading in the right direction.”
His remarks came amid rising tensions, particularly over NATO commitments and broader geopolitical differences.
Greenland dominates Davos talks
Trump’s appearance at Davos has also been overshadowed by his renewed push to bring the Danish territory of Greenland under US control — a stance that has alarmed NATO allies and European leaders.
The President before departing for Davos signalled that Greenland would feature prominently in his discussions at the forum.
“I think we will work something out where NATO is going to be very happy and where we’re going to be very happy,” Trump said, underscoring its importance for national security.
European countries and NATO partners have warned that Trump’s approach toward Greenland could strain the alliance.
Trump touts US economic revival
Trump used his Davos speech to promote America’s economic strength and his administration’s record, saying Americans were “very happy” with his leadership and that the United States had been revived after years of turmoil.
“The USA is the economic engine on the planet — and when America booms, the entire world booms,” Trump told world leaders.
He framed the US as a beacon of opportunity and growth, arguing that his “America First” economic agenda was central to global prosperity.
