‘They called me daddy’: Trump renews attack on Nato; did he confuse Greenland with Iceland?

'They called me daddy': Trump renews attack on Nato; did he confuse Greenland with Iceland?

US President Donald Trump and his confusion between Iceland and Greenland saga continued even in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. As Trump criticised Nato, he suggested the alliance’s other members fell out of love with him and appeared to confuse Greenland with Iceland. “Until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland, they loved me,” he said. “They called me daddy, right, the last time.” He repeated the reference to Iceland, an independent nation that is also a NATO member, but has no stake in Greenland, which is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. Last year, NATO’s secretary general did call Trump “daddy.” “I went from running it to being a terrible human being,” Trump said of the perception of other NATO leaders. “What I’m asking for is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection,” he said. “It’s a very small ask, compared to what we have given them for many, many decades.”
