"In what has become a familiar, exhausting cycle, the rest of the world is left
with the futile task of trying to dredge meaning from the wreckage left behind
by US President Donald Trump.
As Trump departed the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, much
was made of the content of his rambling, hour-long speech because the president
had so escalated his rhetoric over Greenland.
Trump had said the United States would take the semi-autonomous Danish
territory “whether they like it or not”. He had threatened direct tariffs on
NATO allies that opposed him. Europe was considering reciprocal tariffs and had
even gotten to the point of sending troops to Greenland as a demonstration of
resolve.
NATO itself seemed on the verge of collapse.
While some analysis suggests a reprieve, there is no permanence to Trump’s
statements. This president plays with lives, and the future of entire
countries, with no care for the consequences."
