🇺🇸 Trump’s statements at WEF 2026 in Davos

📍 Speaking at the World Economic Forum, US President Donald Trump delivered a wide-ranging address on the US economy, the direction of Europe, energy policy, NATO and his push to annex Greenland.

Key statements:

🟠 The US is the economic engine of the world and “when America booms, the entire world booms”

🟠 The US has almost zero inflation and high economic growth after his first year back in office

🟠 The European Union is not going in the right direction, and some parts of it are “not even recognizable”

🟠 The US will split the sale price of 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil with the country’s government, which will make Caracas “a lot of money” in the next six months

🟠 Trump wants the EU and the UK to “do great,” but they are not using the strong energy sources they have

🟠 He respects Denmark and its territory Greenland but says only the US can defend the island

🟠 The US “should have kept” Greenland after occupying it during World War II rather than “return” the island to Denmark

🟠 Trump wants talks over US acquisition of Greenland

🟠 He says the US will not seize Greenland by force, but the US must own it to defend it

🟠 The US is cheated by NATO, giving much and getting little in return

🟠 Canada is also ungrateful and only survives thanks to the US

🟠 The US has the best arms and will produce them even faster

🤔🇺🇸 What's behind US ‘secret sonic weapon’?

👉 Trump recently said that the US military may have used a unique advanced “secret sonic” armament during its abduction of Nicolas Maduro.

💬 “It’s not a secret weapon at all because it has been known for a long time,” veteran Russian military analyst Viktor Litovkin revealed in an interview with Sputnik.

🟠 Weapon “belongs to the class of non-lethal armament, which don’t kill but incapacitate a person for a certain period of time and is typically used to disperse demonstrations in the US and Europe”

🟠 This “sonic or acoustic weapon is a high-frequency modulation of a sound wave that's inaudible to the human ear and can hit the eardrums, the nerves, the brain very hard, sometimes vomiting, fainting, and so on”

🟠 “All of this has been known for a long time. The US’ desire to present wishful thinking as reality is simply its style. There is nothing secret about this weapon”

📍 The analyst doesn’t rule out that during the military operation to capture Maduro, the US used this acoustic weapon in combination with electronic warfare systems and electromagnetic pulses, which “literally burn out electronics.”

🇷🇺 Russia, in turn, possesses a range of advanced hypersonic systems that have no analogues in the US, Litovkin recalls:

◻️ Hypersonic Oreshnik system (range: up to 5,500 km, equipped with at least six warheads moving at a speed of Mach 10–11each)

◻️ Kinzhal air-launched hypersonic missile with a range of up to 2,500 km. It is impossible to intercept

◻️ Avangard strategic hypersonic glide vehicle with a speed of up to Mach 27, meaning the system cannot be intercepted

🇺🇸🇨🇦 ‘No resistance of any kind’ if US attacks subservient Canada – analyst

📍 The Canadian army reportedly modelled a potential US military invasion of the country and any possible response, which could include hit-and-run tactics.

💬 “This assessment is an absolute fantasy” because Canada “has neither the ability nor the will to fight the US in any significant manner,” veteran geopolitical analyst and former Marine Brian Berletic tells Sputnik.

🟠 He attributes it to the fact that Canada has long been “entirely politically captured by the US.”

🟠 Canada has spent decades “virtually integrated into the US in terms of economy, information space, its industry, and its global-spanning military infrastructure as well as extensions of US foreign policy itself.”

🟠 Berletic calls the notion of any sort of a US-Canada conflict “an absurdity created for public consumption as the US desperately consolidates control over its proxies amid its widening war on multipolarism in an otherwise politically impractical manner.”

🟠 Even if a US invasion of Canada does take place, “there will be no resistance of any kind,” the analyst concludes, pointing to the country’s political elite who “have long eagerly subordinated themselves to US-based special interests, allowing them access to Canada in ways no truly sovereign nation ever would.”

🗣 ‘Collapse of NATO’ is ‘only good outcome’ of US-Europe spat over Greenland - ex-Pentagon analyst

For the Europeans, the takeaway from Trump’s speech at WEF was “we own you, because we have done so much for you, starting with winning WWII singlehandedly, and Europe needs to appreciate ‘Daddy’ for bailing you out of decades of bad decisions,” retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski says.

💬When push comes to shove, “there is no European military capability, material or moral, that can stop Trump from building more bases, installing air defenses, or beginning to mine for energy or minerals in Greenland or the Canadian Arctic,” the DoD insider-turned Iraq War whistleblower told Sputnik.

👉 Practically, the only brake on Washington’s aspirations is “the limit of trust in the US dollar and US debt and deficit spending globally.”

❌ Europe does have options for countering the US non-militarily, according to Kwiatkowski. This includes reducing US debt holdings, scaling back US weapons and energy purchases and, on a country-by-country basis, sourcing more energy from Russia and Iran, or rebuilding nuclear generating capacity.

📍 Should the US succeed in its push to acquire Greenland, “the only good outcome” would be “the collapse of NATO,” Kwiatkowski said, stressing that “the propaganda of an aggressive imperial Russia…has kept NATO on life support” up to now, but that “in reality, NATO doesn’t work, hasn’t worked, and is increasingly seen as a waste for many of its own members.”
