President Donald Trump arrived in Switzerland on Wednesday, just a few hours before he was scheduled to deliver a speech at the World Economic Forum that is expected to touch on Greenland and the future of Venezuela.  Trump landed in Zurich before boarding a helicopter to Davos, where he is set to give a speech at 8:30 am EST. During his visit, Trump is also expected to meet with other foreign leaders and attend a business lunch.  “I believe it will be very successful, the trip. The country’s never done better. 
We have 18 trillion dollars plus coming in,” Trump said before leaving Tuesday night. “We’ve never had anything like it, and no country has had anything like it. Prices are way down. 
Gasoline now is $1.99 in a lot of places. And frankly, nobody’s seen anything like this. So it’s really good, but this will be an interesting trip. 
I have no idea what’s going to happen, but you are well represented.” Traveling with Trump to Davos are Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett, according to the White House.  Trump arrived later than planned in Zurich after his first flight had to return to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland due to an electrical issue. The problem was reportedly minor, but the White House decided to switch planes out of an abundance of caution, Leavitt told reporters.  Trump’s comments on Greenland, along with threats to impose tariffs on countries that block an American acquisition, have drawn much criticism from European leaders ahead of his speech. “I will not yield,” said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “Britain will not yield on our principles and values about the future of Greenland under threats of tariffs.” But NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the main focus should be on the Russia-Ukraine War, not Greenland.  “The risk here is that we focus, of course, on Greenland, because we have to make sure that issue gets solved in an amicable way,” he said. “But the main issue is not Greenland. Now, the main issue is Ukraine. I’m also a little bit worried that we might drop the ball focusing so much on these other issues.” Trump said Tuesday that he had “a lot of meetings scheduled on Greenland” and that “things are going to work out pretty well.”
