U.S. President Donald Trump is hosting presidents, prime ministers and top diplomats from more than a dozen countries to tout his international “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The list of attendees is heavy on the Middle East and South America. But it remains short on major U.S. allies from Europe and the full membership list still isn’t clear. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff also are with Trump. Europe is breathing a sigh of relief Thursday following Trump’s dramatic reversal over Greenland the day before in Davos, where he scrapped the tariffs that he threatened to impose on eight European nations to press for U.S. control over Greenland.
President Donald Trump has spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum is taking place. Trump has struggled to get Zelenskyy and Russia's Vladimir Putin to agree to terms to end their nearly 4-year-old war and has expressed frustration with them. Trump also has inaugurated his Board of Peace to try to maintain a ceasefire in Israel's war with Hamas. Speaking in Davos, Trump emphasized global participation, despite many U.S. allies opting out. Trump aims to map a future for Gaza, but those efforts have largely been overshadowed by his efforts to take Greenland. Trump said Thursday that 59 countries have joined, though key allies remain skeptical.
