Davos 2026 Live Updates: Speaking at a Board of Peace charter announcement during the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, US President Donald Trump said the Middle East is now at peace, reiterating his claim of having resolved eight conflicts before hinting that another settlement could be imminent. He was referring to the Russia–Ukraine war, which he described as one he initially believed would be straightforward but has proven the toughest. Citing a “terrible” toll, Trump said about 29,000 people, mostly soldiers, were killed last month. He added that negotiations are advancing, echoing comments made earlier by Steve Witkoff.

Trump’s one-hour address: Trump, in his over one-hour address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said that he wants to “get Greenland, including right, title and ownership”, but cleared the air over military use, saying he would not use force in order to acquire Greenland. Trump repeatedly ridiculed his European allies during the address, while signalling NATO that it should not halt America’s expansionism. “People thought I ‌would use force, but I don’t have to use force,” Trump said, adding, “I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.”
