10:46'Speak softly and carry a big stick': Jon Sopel on Trump's Davos speech

YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTom Swarbrick is joined by Bryan Lanza, Senior Advisor on the Trump '24 presidential transition team to discuss Trump' speech in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump told world leaders he will not take Greenland by force but did call for “immediate negotiations” on acquiring it during his crunch speech in Davos.
Speaking at the summit in Switzerland, the US president made his pitch to acquire the Danish territory.
Amid growing fears that he would use the US military to take over the island, Trump said: "We won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive force, we'd be unstoppable, but we won't do that."
He then issued a chilling warning to world leaders at the World Economic Forum (WEF) over his attempted Greenland takeover, telling them: "You can say yes, and we'll be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember."
The American leader outlined that he wanted Greenland for "strategic national security and international security".
The US already has the power to bring as many troops as it wants to Greenland under existing agreements with Denmark.
It also has more than 100 military personnel permanently stationed at its Pituffik base in Greenland's north-west - a facility it has operated since World War Two.
