Trump Owned Davos › American Greatness
Fred Fleitz
European leaders worked themselves up into full-blown hysteria before President Trump spoke to the World Economic Forum this week with wild claims that Trump planned a U.S. invasion of Greenland that would destroy the NATO alliance and the rules-based international order. A couple of dozen European troops were hurriedly sent to Greenland. French President Macron called for an emergency G7 summit. European leaders also discussed implementing a “bazooka” trade retaliation against the United States.
But when Trump spoke at the Davos Summit on Wednesday, these hair-on-fire claims melted away in the face of his masterful speech, which laid out in depth his successful record of promoting global security and ending wars. The president also turned the tables on European leaders by challenging them over policies that have endangered their security and the welfare of their citizens.
Trump mocked Europe’s reliance on windmills and green energy, noting that electricity prices have soared by 139% in some European countries, and criticized the UK for energy policies that make it impossible to drill for oil in the North Sea.
Trump also contrasted Europe’s poor economic performance with the U.S. “economic miracle” and said European leaders should end radical policies that are dragging down their economies and emulate American policies. Trump was referring to recent figures showing significantly stronger U.S. economic growth: U.S. real GDP growth in Q3 2025 was 4.4%, compared to a paltry 0.4% for the European Union.
