Trump Heads to Davos to Take Greenland

January 19, 2026, Opinion: "In 25 years of attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, I have never heard the Europeans as worked up as they are about Donald Trump’s threats to Greenland this week. To listen to some of them, this is the start of a complete breakdown in the international order: One minute the U.S. is seizing Greenland, the next minute it’s Iceland, and before you can blink, Canada will be forced to become the 51st state. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin will feel emboldened to move on from Ukraine to the Baltics, and China will start in Asia by gobbling up Taiwan. The only time I have heard Venezuela mentioned is by people amazed at the extent to which it has been forgotten."
