In a dramatic entrance marred by airplane issues, President Donald Trump arrived late at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Despite the hiccup, his agenda remains packed, centered around negotiating tough tariffs and reiterating his aim to purchase Greenland from Denmark.

Trump intends to intertwine domestic policy with international concerns, on the heels of heralding the formation of a 'Board of Peace' for overseeing ceasefire operations between Israel and Hamas. Meanwhile, economic jitters resonate as investors react to new tariff threats targeting European allies.

Amid the global elite at Davos, Trump pitches housing affordability back in America as key, cautioning European leaders against retaliatory moves over tariffs. The forum awaits his next pitches, while economic and diplomatic relations teeter on edge.
