Trump Sends Treasury's Scott Bessent to Davos to Roast Europe Over Greenland
KEY POINTS
- •Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary, is leading the U.S. delegation at Davos on behalf of President Trump this week.
- •Bessent criticized Europe Monday, warning it would be 'very unwise' to retaliate over America's push to control Greenland.
- •Trump will speak Wednesday, focusing on domestic economy topics like housing and portraying American economic dominance with media targeting U.S. audiences.
At Davos 2026, amidst Swiss winter and global elites bundled up in million-dollar parkas, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent takes center stage representing Trump — who arrives Wednesday fresh from charming Michigan's working class with blue-collar charisma. Bessent's hot takes include telling reporters on Monday it would be 'very unwise' for Europe to retaliate over America's recent bid to grab Greenland, a move that screams less 'global cooperation' and more 'icy real estate squabble.' Armed with buzzphrases like 'Parallel Prosperity' celebrating America’s 250th, he aims to out-swagger global stagnation and rub Europe’s nose in U.S. economic dominance while ignoring pesky DEI, climate, and bug-eating trends, all on Real America's Voice News’ MAGA-approved channel. Peace, profits, and main street swagger, or just a Davos mic drop? You decide.
