Trump to el-Sisi:

I hear you have a strong leader in Ethiopia, he is a strong guy.

I will try to bring you two together so that we can have a deal.

Trump:

You have Hezbollah in Lebanon, we have to do something there.

They are causing a lot of problems.

Trump on Greenland:

Military is not on the table. I don't think it will be necessary.

I think people will use their best judgment.

French MEP Aurore Lalucq warns the EU is financially dependent on the U.S. and one political decision away from chaos because Visa, Mastercard, and most payment infrastructure are American-controlled.

“Almost all our payment systems today are American. Donald Trump can cut them off overnight.”

“He’s already done it. He’s already done it to the International Criminal Court.”

“We need an Airbus of payment systems.”

“It’s not expensive. We’re talking about ten million euros.”

“The rest, today, is poetry.”

Footage from the Nashwa neighborhood south of Hasakah, Syria shows PKK terrorists openly provoking Arab locals after recent killings in the area.

At a Davos dinner, Howard Lutnick gave a combative speech that blew up the room.

He was heckled, the crowd erupted, and Christine Lagarde walked out mid-speech.

Host Larry Fink had to repeatedly calm the room.

Fink later summed up the moment:

“We are living in a more polarising world. There’s more people talking at each other, not to each other.”

French Presidency:

It’s being claimed that President Macron increased the price of medicines.

He does not set their prices. They are regulated by the social security system and have, in fact, remained stable. Anyone who has set foot in a French pharmacy knows this.

Argentina's Milei:

America will once again be the beacon that reignites the West.

Gianni Infantino once again shows up near Trump at Davos.

"We have the king of sports over here: Gianni."

Trump:

Toyota — I met Mr. Toyoda in Japan. So I said, ‘What’s your name, Toyota?’ I said, ‘Oh, do you own the car company?’ He said, ‘Yes — 92 percent.’

I said, ‘You didn’t have to be that specific.’

But I said, ‘You’re rich.’ Yes, yes — very rich.

Trump:

I’m jealous. In a way, I’m upset at a couple of people in the room. I can’t stand them — and they’ve become very rich. There’s nothing I can do about it.

I would screw them if I could, but I can’t do it, right? I would if I had a chance.

Trump on his Davos speech:

Usually, they say "he’s a horrible dictator-type person. I’m a dictator."

But sometimes you need a dictator.

Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen:

We will not enter negotiations based on giving up fundamental principles.

That will never happen.

We live in 2026.

Syrian Army deployments to Hasakah are continuing at full pace.

Demonstrators supporting the PKK terrorist organization stormed the United Nations building in Geneva, Switzerland.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa liberated lands under YPG/SDF occupation after quiet diplomacy convinced Washington not to intervene.

In early January meetings in Damascus, Paris, and Iraq, Syrian officials signaled plans to move against the YPG/SDF.

The U.S., long the YPG/SDF’s backer, did not object and later made clear it now preferred working with the Syrian state.

U.S. envoy Tom Barrack later told YPG/SDF leaders that American interests lay with Sharaa, not the SDF.

Rutte to Trump:

There’s one thing I heard you say yesterday and today — you were not absolutely sure that the Europeans would come to the rescue of the US if it were attacked.

Let me tell you — they will. And they did in Afghanistan, as you know. For every two Americans who paid the ultimate price, there was one soldier from another NATO country who did not come back to his family.

So you can be assured absolutely: if ever the US is under attack, your allies will be with you. Absolutely. There’s an absolute guarantee. I really want to tell you this because it is important.

And under your leadership, this alliance is stronger than ever.

Reporter: The Danish Foreign Minister rejected your call to negotiate on Greenland.

Trump: I didn’t call him.

Reporter: He essentially said that this is not something that they are willing to discuss.

Trump: Well, they didn’t tell me that. So when they tell me — ’cause I don’t like getting it secondhand — if he wants to tell me, he’ll tell me that to my face.

Reporter: And when will you be discussing this?

Trump: I have no idea... I’ll be discussing it with this man right here, he is frankly more important.

Reporter: When you said you would remember if Denmark did not agree to a deal on Greenland, what did you mean? What are the consequences?

Trump: You’ll have to figure that out for yourself. You’re a smart guy.
