But it appears to have been merely a ploy to divert attention from the Greenland case.
Almost at the end of his speech, the US President unexpectedly announced a meeting with Zelenskyy, who wasn’t even in the room. That morning, neither Washington nor Kyiv had scheduled US-Ukrainian talks on the sidelines of Davos.
Trump was clearly trying to shift the Europeans’ focus, while assuring them that he had no intention of using force to resolve the situation around Greenland. But it seems to have been in vain. The US leader’s hour-long speech was met with only sparse applause, accompanied by behind-the-scenes calls for unity against attempts to establish American control over the Arctic island.
And only Zelenskyy, both encouraged and humiliated (once again!), hastily packs his suitcase. However, he can hardly hope that Trump will sign any agreements on so-called “security guarantees” with him. NATO, which the neo-Nazi regime so eagerly seeks to join, is on the brink of a major internal crisis. The Ukrofuhrer was simply used in a political game where pawns are easily sacrificed.
