Donald Trump appears to mix up Greenland and Iceland four times

Donald Trump appeared to repeatedly mistake Iceland for Greenland in his speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland overnight. In his speech, the president referenced Iceland four times in a context that seemed to fit his previous remarks on Greenland. "I'm helping Europe, I am helping NATO, and until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me," he said. Donald Trump appeared to repeatedly confuse Iceland and Greenland. (AP) "(NATO is) not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. "So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money." He made the same apparent mistake yesterday in a long press conference. But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt re...

Wall Street cashes in as Donald Trump ‘chickens out’ on Greenland

Donald Trump has retreated on his ambitions for Greenland, instead announcing an unspecified "framework of a future deal" for the island. The US president went into few details about the agreement he had struck with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. "This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. 'Trump always chickens out' is a common expression on Wall Street. (AP) "Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st." The president's apparent retreat is the latest example of what his critics refer to as TACO Trump. The unflattering acronym is short for Trump Always ...

Trump says he ‘won’t use force’ to take control of Greenland, but insists it’s US territory

US President Donald Trump has said he "won't use force" to obtain Greenland, while describing it as "our territory" and calling for an "immediate" return to negotiations – although he refused to name his price for the island. Addressing some of the world's richest and most powerful people at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday (early Thursday AEDT), Trump called on Denmark and NATO to give him "a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection". Trump directly addressed NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte before saying the US would not use "excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly unstoppable".

Has Trump really ended eight wars? Fact-checking the president’s claim

If there is anything Donald Trump covets more than anything else, it's the Nobel Peace Prize. The president has repeatedly spoken of how much he deserved it, and raged in public and private at the country of Norway, which he believes is responsible for not giving it to him. At the centre of his claim for the prize is the boast that he has ended eight wars in a year. Reporters raise their hands as President Donald Trump speaks during a press briefing at the White House. (AP) But has he? "The short answer is no. And in fact, the short answer is not even close," Monash University senior lecturer in international relations Ben Zala told nine.com.au. "Two and a half, or, let's be generous and say three, are factually correct." Israel ...

Donors have raised close to half a million dollars for a factory worker who was suspended for heckling Donald Trump. Ford worker TJ Sabula called the president a "paedophile protector" when he visited the plant in Detroit yesterday. Trump gave Sabula the middle finger and appeared to twice say "f— you".

But the father of two young children said he had "definitely no regrets whatsoever". "I don't feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity," Sabula told the Washington Post. TJ Sabula said he had no regrets after heckling Don...
