WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he will not attend an emergency G7 summit proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Ahead of his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the White House chief addressed a briefing on the first year of his second term. The president stated that he has "many meetings" planned in Davos, including on Greenland.
"I have meetings scheduled with people directly involved in this situation," Trump said amid escalating tensions with European leaders, whom he threatened with additional tariffs on goods unless an agreement on American control of Greenland was reached.
"He's my friend. He's a good guy. I like Macron, but as you know, he doesn't have much time left," the White House chief said of the French president, whose term expires in 2027.
At the briefing, Donald Trump also questioned whether NATO allies would help defend the United States. "What really scares me is that we've spent a tremendous amount of money on NATO, and I know we'll come to their aid, but I really doubt they'll come to our aid," he said.
D. Trump once again emphasized that the United States needs Greenland for national security reasons. "You'll find out," he replied when asked how far he was willing to go in this direction.
