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 which has shaken the meeting of global elites.
On his second day at the Swiss ski resort, Trump is seeking to promote the “Board of Peace”, his controversial body for resolving international conflicts, with a signing ceremony for the organisation’s charter.
The board boasts a US$1 billion price tag for permanent membership and Trump has invited leaders including Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Hungary’s Viktor Orban to join.
“I think it’s the greatest board ever formed,” Trump said Wednesday as he met Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, another of the leaders who have agreed to join.
The launch of the board comes against the backdrop of Trump’s frustration at having failed to win the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his disputed claim to have ended eight conflicts.
