President Donald Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum. His "America First" plan caused worry around the world. He talked about new territorial ideas and threatened tariffs. Many leaders and religious figures are afraid of more conflicts.
President Trump surprised everyone by saying he wanted to buy Greenland. He said it was for a missile defense system. Allies in Europe were relieved he did not plan military action. However, the idea of buying a country caused a lot of argument. He also threatened tariffs on eight European countries. Leaders in Europe felt this was insulting. They think his foreign policy is too strong and not based on facts.
Trump's words also affected Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney warned of a "rupture" in world politics. He said powerful countries are becoming more influential. He also said the current international order is breaking apart. President Trump then criticized Canada. He said they did not seem grateful for American help.
A group of Catholic cardinals also shared their worries. They wrote a statement saying Trump's foreign policy hurts human dignity and peace. They are concerned about threats to life and religious freedom. They also worry about less help for peace efforts in places like Venezuela.
Pope Francis said the world is moving away from talking to solve problems. He said countries are using force more. This is dangerous for peace and the law. The Council of Europe also shared these fears. They warned against thinking like in the Cold War. They said countries might focus too much on land and power. President Trump said he will do what is best for the United States. He said he can think about what is good for his country. His plan seems to focus on power. This could make alliances weaker.
