Donald Trump, on Wednesday, addressed the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, amid escalating tensions between the US and the European Union (EU) over Greenland, which the US President is seeking to annex. Trump took off for Davos in the wee hours of Wednesday, but had to return to US soil shortly after takeoff due to an electrical issue on board Air Force One. The US President is currently en route Davos, having switched planes, and is expected to address the WEF shortly after lunch, local time. Prior to Trump's address, the WEF will also see a dedicated panel on India's economic growth, which will see former IMF chief Gita Gopinath, Bharti Enterprises chief Sunil Mittal, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, and IKEA CEO Juvencio Maeztu Herrera speak as panel.
