Speaking on the sidelines of today’s summit for the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever said, “We as Europe must tell Trump: this far and no further. ‘Back down,’ or we’ll go ‘all the way,” stating that defense spending in Europe must be increased, adding about recent threats by President Trump, “threatening NATO allies with military intervention on NATO territory is so unprecedented that you are really approaching a breaking point… Being a happy vassal is one thing. Being a miserable slave is something else.”

Addressing the 56th Annual Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) today in Switzerland, French President Emmanuel Macron attacks practices by both China and the United States, stating that it is “concerning” as “we are killing the structures where we can fix the situation,” adding that collective governance gives way to “relentless” competition, and says that American, “demands maximum concessions and openly aim to weaken and subordinate Europe,” and criticizes an attempted “accumulation of new territories” by the United States. Macron also speaks about China’s “massive excess capacities” and “distortive practices” that seek to “overwhelm” some sectors of the World Economy.

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke about the importance of Europe during today’s summit of the World Economic Forum, stating that, “sometimes … too slow, for sure, and needs to be reformed, sure, but which is predictable, loyal and where you know that the rules of the game are just the rule of law,” but it remains “a good place, for today and tomorrow.”

“We do believe that we need more growth, we need more stability in this world. But we do prefer respect [over] bullies … and we do prefer rule of law [over] brutality. You’re welcome in Europe, and you are more than welcome to France.”

Later, Macron spoke about the ridiculousness of tariffs proposed by the Trump Administration over their demands for Greenland, stating that the idea is “crazy” the EU could deploy its anti-coercion instrument for the first time against its ally in the United States. “I do regret that, but this is a consequence of just unpredictability and useless aggressivity,” referring to President Trump.

In a post earlier on Truth Social, President Donald J. Trump reiterated his recent claim that he has done more for NATO than “any single person, or President,” adding that without him, “there would be no NATO right now!!! It would have been in the ash heap of History.” This post comes only hours after President Trump reposted a post from another user which stated, “So at what point are we going to realize the enemy is within. China and Russia are the boogeymen when the real threat is the U.N., NATO and this ‘religion’ (Islam).”

Speaking during a press conference earlier this morning coinciding with the 56th Annual Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland, the Prime Minister of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stated that while it is “not likely” the United States will use military force on the Danish territory, “it can’t be ruled out,” adding that Greenlanders “must be prepared for all possibilities.” Nielsen further stated that there is “no doubt” Greenland will need a larger military presence, “If we look at the defence sector, we can see that there are a lot of exercises from allied countries, and there is growing tension in the Arctic.”

U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) has just announced and published footage of its seventh boarding and seizure of a sanctioned crude oil tanker, reportedly the Liberian-flagged M/T SAGITTA, this morning in the Caribbean Sea, carried out by the U.S. Coast Guard with support from the Navy and Marine Corps.

The U.S. Department of Defense plans to cut its participation in a range of NATO advisory groups, the latest sign of the Trump Administration’s drive to scale back its military presence in Europe and its souring relationship with NATO Allies, according to multiple officials familiar with the matter who spoke to the Washington Post.

Plans made by the Pentagon are expected to primarily cut personnel at NATO Centres of Excellence (COE) across Europe, which are staffed by roughly 200 Americans, along with military personnel from every other members of NATO. Rather than withdraw all at once, the Pentagon intends not to replace personnel as their postings end, a process that could take years, with officials claiming this has nothing to do with current tensions over Greenland.

President Donald J. Trump during his first-year press briefing earlier today at the White House: “You remember when they used to say that the people that come into our country as immigrants are very nice people, they're wonderful people, they don't commit crime. No, they make our criminals look like babies. They make our Hells Angels look like the sweetest people on Earth. The Hells Angels are now considered a nice, high-quality person. I like the Hells Angels. They voted for me. They protected me, actually, believe it or not. But they make our criminals look like babies.”

Asked earlier today how far he was willing to go to acquire Greenland, President Donald J. Trump stated, “You’ll find out.”

Despite incessant demands recently by President Donald J. Trump for Denmark to allow the United States to acquire Greenland, many don’t seem to be taking the President’s aggressive statements seriously, with traders on Polymarket predicting that there is only a 19% chance that Trump will successfully acquire Greenland before the end of 2026.

The Royal Danish Army is preparing a rotating force of 1,000 Soldiers that will be forward deployed to Denmark, in addition to aircraft and ships from the Air Force and Navy, with 300 Soldiers from the 1st Brigade having already arrived in Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk, alongside several dozen Soldiers with the Chasseurs Alpins, an elite mountain infantry unit of the French Army.

Multiple KC-135R “Stratotanker” Aerial-Refueling Tankers with the U.S. Air Force have taken off from bases in California and Maine this afternoon heading east, preparing to cross the Atlantic towards Europe, with several destined for Morón Air Base in Spain.

Prior to last June’s strikes against nuclear sites in Iran, similar movements by aerial-refueling tankers and other logistics assets with the U.S. Air Force were seen being transferred from bases in the United States towards Europe and the Middle East.

Air Force One carrying President Donald J. Trump to the 56th Annual Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, has just made a sharp turn off the east coast of the United States and appears to be returning to Joint Base Andrews.

Air Force One suffered a “minor electrical issue” following takeoff tonight from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, and is in the process of returning to the base, where President Donald J. Trump will board a different aircraft that will transport him to the 56th Annual Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, according to NewsNation.

Air Force One carrying President Donald J. Trump has safely landed back at Joint Base Andrews near Washington, D.C. after a “minor electrical issue” caused the aircraft to turn around earlier over the Northern Atlantic. The President will now board another presidential aircraft, likely a C-32A with the 89th Airlift Wing, which will carry President Trump to the 56th Annual Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.

After pulling back from strikes on Iran last week, President Donald J. Trump is still pressing aides for what he terms “decisive” military options against the Islamic Republic, as Iran appears to have tightened its control of the country and targets protesters through a brutal crackdown that has killed thousands, U.S. officials tell the Wall Street Journal.

President Donald J. Trump has boarded a C-32A with the 89th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Andrews, now going by the callsign Air Force One, and has once again departed the United States bound for the 56th Annual Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.

As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East between Iran and the United States, additional air-defense systems are preparing to be transferred to the region by the U.S. Army, including more MIM-104 “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile Batteries and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems, which would both be essential in defending against any serious retaliatory attack by Iran, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal.
