Trump Invites 58 Leaders to His Global Board, Holds Ultimate Veto Like a Bond Villain
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump will arrive in Davos on Tuesday promoting his self-styled 'Board of Peace' with a veto power solely for himself.
- •He threatened tariffs against seven NATO allies due to their Greenland troop deployments, demanding Denmark cede the island by February 1.
- •European leaders are scrambling to contain the Greenland dispute fallout as scheduled Ukraine agreements in Davos face delays.
President Trump is making Davos feel like an international episode of "The Apprentice." After threatening tariffs against seven NATO countries unless Denmark hands over Greenland by February 1, he’s redefining 'peace' with his new 'Board of Peace' that will reportedly have Trump wielding the sole veto—because why share power? His keynote involves planting an American flag on Greenland, railing against French wine tariffs, and casually leaking private texts from Macron and NATO’s Mark Rutte. Meanwhile, European allies scramble, shredding Ukraine plans for "Greenland crisis PR" and debating if they can ‘punch back.’ Trump’s envoys meet Russia’s Dmitriev as Putin gets an exclusive Board invite. Davos just upgraded from global economics to geopolitical reality TV.
