Backtracks on threat to seize Greenland

US President Donald Trump was due to show off his new “Board of Peace” and meet with Ukraine's leader at Davos yesterday, burnishing his claim to be a peacemaker, a day after backing off his own threats against Greenland.

Mr Trump abruptly announced on Wednesday that he was scrapping tariffs against Europe and ruling out military action to take Greenland from Denmark, partially defusing a crisis that had shaken the meeting of global elites.

On his second day at the Swiss ski resort, Mr Trump was due to promote the “Board of Peace”, his controversial body for resolving international conflicts, with a signing ceremony for the organisation's charter.

The fledgling board has set a $1 billion (31 billion baht) price tag for permanent membership, and Mr Trump has invited leaders, including Russia's Vladimir Putin, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Hungary's Viktor Orban, to join.
