French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where discussions about Greenland and potential U.S. tariffs loomed large. Macron urged European leaders to consider a “trade bazooka” as a response to President Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on European countries that oppose U.S. moves on Greenland. The Arctic island’s future-still a Danish territory-was expected to be a key topic among world leaders. The exchange included Trump threatening steep tariffs (including a reported 200% tariff on french wines and champagnes) and later posting private messages from Macron in which the French president said they align on Syria and Iran but that he “does not understand” the Greenland plan.

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to speak in Davos at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday at 8 a.m.
WHAT IS EUROPE’S ‘TRADE BAZOOKA’ BEING FLOATED AS AN ANSWER TO TRUMP’S GREENLAND THREATS?
Macron launched to the center of the American foreign policy conversation on Monday as he urged European leaders to use the “trade bazooka” in response to President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs on European countries that disagree with his aims of acquiring Greenland.
The future of the Arctic island, now a territory of Denmark, is largely expected to be a hot topic among the major world leaders gathered in Davos. As Trump boarded Air Force One overnight, he threatened Macron with a 200% tariff on French wines and champagnes if Macron was hostile to joining his Board of Peace. Trump later posted friendly private messages from Macron on his Truth Social platform, in which the French president invited him to dinner.
“My friend, We are totally in line on Syria. We can do great things on Iran. I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland,” Macron said in the message. “Let us try to build great things.”
