Davos 2026: Special Address by Donald J Trump, President of the United States of America
The President covered:
- Economic Achievements of his first year in office (this time);
- Policy Reversals and Domestic Wins;
- Energy and Criticism of Renewables;
- Trade and Tariffs as key tools to force fair deals and bring production home;
- Greenland Focus: He strongly pushed for U.S. acquisition/control of Greenland from Denmark for national security, calling it essential for North America/NATO protection. He explicitly stated “I won’t use force” but U.S. military is “unstoppable” if needed; sought immediate negotiations for “right, title, and ownership”; later announced “framework of a future deal” with NATO on Greenland/Arctic, leading to dropping planned February tariffs on European allies.
- Foreign Policy and Security
- Other Domestic/International Points:
- Cut drug prices via most-favored-nation enforcement (tariff threats);
- Banned institutional home buying, capped credit card rates temporarily;
- Advanced crypto (GENIUS Act);
- Reduced illegal migration dramatically (“reverse migration”);
- Cut crime/welfare fraud;
- Criticized Fed Chair Powell, media, and past elections.
