President Trump trolled European leaders over Greenland by sharing an AI-generated picture of himself planting a US flag on the autonomous Danish territory — as he leaked fawning text messages from world statesmen ahead of the high-stakes Davos summit this week.

The image, shared by the president early Tuesday on Truth Social, shows Trump marking his territory, followed by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It also features a sign declaring Greenland a “US territory est. 2026.”

In a separate AI-generated picture shared by the defiant commander-in-chief, European leaders — including British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni — gather around a map in the Oval Office that shows Greenland, Canada, and Venezuela absorbed into the US.

The taunting posts come as Trump ramped up his push to acquire Greenland, declaring on Tuesday that there was “no going back” on his goal and refusing to rule out taking the Arctic island by force.

The president — who will join the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week — also shared a series of sweet-talking texts from Macron and Rutte, also known as the “Trump whisperer,” effusively praising him for recent foreign policy triumphs in Syria and elsewhere.

“Mr President, dear Donald — what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible,” Rutte also gushed in another text exchange, according to a screenshot shared by Trump.

“I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine. I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can’t wait to see you. Yours, Mark,” the message concludes.

The snarky social media flurry comes after Trump announced plans to impose 10% tariffs on eight European countries that recently deployed troops to Greenland, starting Feb. 1, with a threat to ratchet them up to 25% if he doesn’t get the icy island by June. 

Trump leaked a fawning text from French President Emmanuel Macron.

European leaders have largely taken a good cop, bad cop approach in response, mixing flattery and threats. 

“We consider the people of the United States not just our allies, but our friends,” European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during her Tuesday address at the WEF, before threatening retaliation over tariffs. 

“Our response will be unflinching, united and proportional.”

Here’s the latest on Trump’s negotiations with Greenland

The EU is considering some €93 billion in retaliatory tariff measures in response, and some officials are pining to break out the “trade bazooka” — a series of actions such as trade restrictions — that was initially conceived as an anti-coersion instrument against China.

Trump has argued that US control of Greenland, which is currently under Danish control, is critical to national security, given the robust Russian footprint in the Arctic and his desire to complete the space-based Golden Dome nuclear defense system.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Trump warned France he would hit the country with a 200% tariff on wine and champagne if Macron didn’t agree to join his “Board of Peace” for rebuilding Gaza.

The issue of Greenland is likely to take center stage at this week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, where the global political and business elite will descend on the Swiss resort town.

Trump is set to announce the expansion of his “Board of Peace” remit, which critics have claimed is an attempt to establish a rival UN Security Council.

Ukraine is also expected to be on the agenda, with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner meeting with Russian officials in Davos on Tuesday to discuss an end to the four-year conflict.
