Air Force One carrying President Donald Trump briefly turned back<\/p>\n
after takeoff to Davos \u201cas a precaution\u201d due to a \u201cminor electrical issue,\u201d according to the White House press pool.<\/p>\n
Officials stressed the move was routine, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt joked that the Qatari jet Trump had once been offered sounded \u201cmuch better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump ultimately arrived safely in Davos around 8 a.m. Eastern Time and continued with his planned meetings.<\/p>\n
The incident did not overshadow the larger focus of the trip: growing tension between the United States and Europe at the World Economic Forum.<\/p>\n
European leaders were uneasy over Trump\u2019s renewed push for a Greenland deal, warning that failure to reach an agreement by February 1 would trigger tariffs.<\/p>\n
Under the plan, goods from several European countries would face a \u201c10 percent tariff\u201d by February, rising to \u201c25 percent by June 1.\u201d<\/p>\n
European governments rejected the demands, arguing Greenland\u2019s security should be handled through NATO cooperation.<\/p>\n
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that escalating trade<\/p>\n
disputes would weaken allies and benefit adversaries, emphasizing that agreements \u201cshould carry lasting meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
