FAQ: Trump's Deception at Davos and Its Impact on Transatlantic Relations

Elizabeth Graham is a bestselling author with expertise on the Trump/Putin relationship who had a Top-Secret Security Clearance in high school, worked undercover with the CIA, spent 12 years at SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (including 8 years studying Russia), and lived in the Soviet Union/Russia long enough to become bi-cultural, giving her first-hand understanding of communist/dictatorship countries.

She's analyzing President Donald Trump's speech at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he discussed his proposal regarding Greenland and made statements that Graham describes as deceptive.

Trump's proposal to 'take Greenland by force if necessary' has created unprecedented tension between the U.S. and Europe, with European leaders having previously tried to engage Trump through diplomatic gestures like commitments to purchase American goods and gifts such as a custom-engraved golf club.

Graham states that Trump uses words 'to con others, with no intention or understanding of honesty,' and that his statement 'I will not use force to take Greenland' was deceptive, similar to how he justified actions in Venezuela while having different intentions.

She sees Trump's Davos speech as a plea for Europeans to withdraw troops from Greenland so he can 'swallow up this country in the same deceptive way he did Venezuela,' where he justified military action against boats to prevent drug trafficking despite evidence that drugs primarily come by air, then announced he would manage Venezuela and control their gas and oil industry.

Greenland possesses abundant untapped rare minerals used in producing magnets critical for manufacturing aircraft engines, electric cars, trains, and advanced technical machinery, with China currently dominating the global rare earth magnet market, giving it significant leverage in high-tech industries.

While Americans are familiar with Trump's misleading statements, Europeans have not been exposed to them as often, and Graham was surprised by their attentiveness and the questions asked after Trump's speech, noting that his reassurance about not using force initially comforted many.

Graham worries that Europeans 'have not grasped the deceptive statements or fraudulent behaviors involved' in Trump's approach to Greenland, potentially leaving them vulnerable to similar exploitation as occurred in Venezuela.
