Trump Davos speech live: US President Donald Trump addressed the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, amid escalating tensions between the US and the European Union (EU) over the issue of Greenland – a NATO ally.

Despite delays in Trump’s arrival in Davos due to a snag aboard Air Force One, the POTUS’s address began as scheduled.

Trump’s speech in focus

Trump’s address is being closely watched around the world given prevailing tensions – which also comes after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s explosive speech at the WEF on Tuesday, wherein he highlighted a “rupture” in the rules-based global order and warned of great powers acting without constraint, alluding to the US President without naming him.

Trump took off for Davos in the wee hours of Wednesday, but had to return to US soil shortly after takeoff due to an electrical issue on board Air Force One.
