President Donald J. Trump, speaking at the 56th Annual Summit of the World Economic Forum this morning in Davos, said that he wishes to begin “immediate negotiations” regarding the purchase of Greenland, but states that he will not use “force” to acquire the territory from Denmark.

President Donald J. Trump appears to confuse Greenland with Iceland while speaking earlier in front of the World Economic Forum, with him stating, “I don't know that they'd [NATO] be there for us. They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. But that dip is peanuts compared to what it's gone up.”

President Donald J. Trump continues to confuse Iceland for Greenland while talking about NATO in front of the World Economic Forum: “In Europe, I'm helping NATO, and I've, until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy, right, the last time. A very smart man said, he's our daddy. He's running it. I was like running it. I went from running it to being a terrible human being.”

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announces that it has launched a new mission to transfer ISIS detainees from sites in Northeastern Syria to Iraq, in order to help ensure the terrorists remain in secure detention facilities, amid the ongoing offensive by the Syrian Army and near-total collapse of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Orders sent yesterday to the 16th Military Police Brigade are in addition to prepare-to-deploy orders that were sent out last Friday by the Defense Department to two battalions, roughly 1,000 soldiers, with the Army’s 11th Airborne Division at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Alaska, also in preparation for deployment to Minneapolis, where protests are continuing following the recent shooting of a woman by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Speaking at tonight’s CEO Reception and Dinner for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald J. Trump stated: “We had a good speech. We got great reviews. I can't believe it. We got good reviews in that speech. Usually they say, ‘he's a horrible dictator type person.’ I'm a dictator. But sometimes you need a dictator. But they didn't say that in this case. And no, it's common sense. It's all based on common sense. It's not conservative or liberal or anything else. It's mostly, let's say, 95% common sense.”

Finnish President Alexander Stubb: “First is a direct answer to the question of this panel: Can Europe defend itself? My answer is unequivocally yes. Without the Americans? Without the Americans. But you're relying on them for these key elements. How would you do it at scale and at duration and at intensity? With an assumption that the United States would cut off completely any kind of work. Well, if we look at the defense composure of Europe by and large, and a country like Finland, we have conscription. One million have done it. We can mobilize 280,000 soldiers within weeks. We have 62 F-18s. Your next question is going to be, do they fly without Americans? No, they don't. But do we trust that they will continue to fly because it's in the interest of America to do so? Yes. We just bought 64 F-35s. We have the biggest artillery in Europe together with Poland. We have long-range missiles, land, sea, and air. We have these because we're worried about Stockholm, right? So the bottom line is that if you ask me the question can the Finnish military defend itself against a Russian attack, the whole defense posture of the way in which you do it, yes, we can.”

Israel's defense establishment has raised its level of alert in recent days amid concerns that President Donald J. Trump may have decided to strike Iran, possibly within days, with officials taking seriously the possibility that an attack is imminent and are preparing both the homefront and military forces for a range of scenarios, security officials tell Haaretz.

Senior military officials said they recognize that Trump's decision-making is unpredictable and that even if he opts to carry out an attack, he could reverse course at the last moment, adding that cooperation with counterparts in the United States is close and that they do not rule out a scenario in which the Israeli Air Force would strike targets in Iran in response to missile fire at Israel.

Reporter: “There are assets moving into the Gulf, obviously, carriers and other things. So a lot of people are wondering whether that's a prelude to further action?”

Trump: “Well, we hope there's not going to be further action. But, you know, they're shooting people indiscriminately in the streets. And they were going to - look this was a big thing for me - they were going to hang 830, hang 837 mostly young people.”

While speaking Wednesday in front of the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Donald J. Trump announced that the United States has ordered an additional 25 B-2 “Spirit” Long-Range Stealth Bombers, citing their usefulness during last June’s strikes against nuclear facilities in Iran. However, President Trump is likely talking about the B-21 Raider not the B-2, as the production line for the B-2 was ceased by Northrop Grumman in 2000, and has since fully transferred to production of the B-21.

The Trump Administration is actively seeking regime change in Cuba by the end of the year, emboldened by the recent ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with senior officials in the administration searching for Cuban government insiders who could help cut a deal to push out the Communist-led government in Cuba by the end of the 2026, people familiar with the matter have told the Wall Street Journal.
