Donald Trump heads for Davos

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday descended for Davos amid possibility of a showdown with European leaders as his bid to seize Greenland threatens to tear the transatlantic alliance apart.

Trump mocked European leaders a day before heading to the World Economic Forum, who have closed ranks against Trump's aggressive America First stance, with French President Emmanuel Macron vowing to stand up against "bullies" and the EU promising an "unflinching" response.

As Trump lands in Switzerland, the focus will be on the US leader and his policies, and what he discusses with the European leaders.

"I'm going to a beautiful place in Switzerland where I'm sure I'm very happily awaited for," Trump said with a smile at a White House briefing to mark his first year back in power, before leaving for Davos.

Asked how far he was prepared to go to acquire Greenland from Denmark, a fellow NATO member, Trump replied: "You'll find out."

Later as he left the White House for his flight, the president admitted he had "no idea" how the trip to Davos would pan out.

Trump's eagerly awaited speech at the annual gathering of the world's economic and political elite, which he is attending for the first time in six years, is scheduled for 2:30pm (1330 GMT).

Donald Trump will be accompanied by several Cabinet ministers and top advisers, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and special envoy Steve Witkoff among others.
