Trump Outlines Foreign and Domestic Agenda at World Economic Forum

President Donald Trump delivered a wide-ranging speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, outlining his approach to foreign and domestic policy and emphasizing American strength, leverage, and restraint. On foreign policy, Trump argued the United States remains the backbone of global security, pressing NATO allies to increase defense spending and warning that U.S. protection cannot remain one-sided. He renewed his call for negotiations with Denmark over Greenland, calling the Arctic territory critical for missile defense and global security, while stressing he would not use military force and that diplomacy must determine its future. Trump said talks are nearing a breakthrough to end the war in Ukraine and warned continued fighting risks wider escalation. In the Middle East, Trump said U.S. military strikes dismantled Iran’s nuclear capabilities and created conditions for stability in Gaza, warning Hamas must disarm or face consequences. Domestically, Trump highlighted tax cuts, deregulation, tariffs, factory construction, expanded oil, gas, and nuclear production, efforts to lower drug prices, curb institutional home buying, and promote U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence, arguing economic strength at home underpins American influence abroad.
