President Donald Trump’s Wednesday speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland was filled with inaccurate claims – notably including false and misleading statements about NATO and Greenland, the self-governing Danish territory he is pushing for the US to acquire.

Trump told an audience in Davos on Wednesday that a possible purchase of the semi-autonomous territory should not be seen as a threat to Nato.

General Mark Rutte may have been instrumental in persuading U.S. President Donald Trump to scrap his threat of tariffs as he presses for control over Greenland.

By Soren Jeppesen and Stine Jacobsen COPENHAGEN, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Friday she had agreed with NATO chief Mark Rutte that the alliance needs to boost security in the Arctic following weeks of turmoil over U.

Donald Trump has claimed that the U.S. has never needed NATO’s help, apparently forgetting how allied nations came to America’s aid after September 11 and died assisting US forces on the frontlines of Afghanistan.

President Donald Trump dropped his threat to impose tariffs on eight European countries as part of his push to acquire Greenland. Yesterday's reversal came hours after the European Union’s parliament halted final approval of a critical trade deal that Trump reached with the bloc last summer.

The president said the U.S. should have just kept the Danish territory after World War II and that Denmark was being “ungrateful” by not handing it over now.
