GEWASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said Prime Minister Mark Carney is not "grateful" during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday.
Trump said he heard Carney's Tuesday speech at the forum, which was widely praised around the world. The president said "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us" and should be thankful.
"I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful," Trump said. "But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements."
During a rambling speech, Trump took shots at Europe and repeated his claim that the United States needs Greenland.
Trump said that while he wants Greenland, "including right, title and ownership," he added he won't use force to take the autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
The president's comments about Greenland rattled America's allies and overshadowed the forum. His speech is unlikely to quell fears about the United States' future in NATO.
Trump warned NATO members that they can approve of the United States seizing Greenland, “and we’ll be very appreciative. Or you can say, 'No,' and we will remember."
In Davos on Tuesday, Carney unveiled his foreign policy vision to the assembled leaders. In his speech, the prime minister said the old world order is dead and urged middle powers to band together as larger ones try to pressure them through economic coercion.
