Trump-Greenland latest: President lashes out at Nato and Europe as he doubles down on annexation threats
Trump press sec accused of ‘plain lying’ about Davos speech mistakes
- President Donald Trump’s press secretary has lashed out at a reporter who pointed out Trump’s slip-ups in his speech at Davos.
- Trump appeared to confuse Greenland with Iceland four times during his remarks at the World Economic Forum.
- Replying to a reporter’s X post about the mistakes, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote, “No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here.”
- X users quickly came to the reporter’s defense, accusing Leavitt of “plain lying” and sharing video of Trump’s speech.
- Trump said at Davos, “But the problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100%. But I'm not sure that they'll 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.”
