With targeted action and tariffs, we can help push back the bully in chiefEd Davey is leader of the Liberal DemocratsDonald Trump is behaving like an international gangster. His threats to Greenland this week have crossed a line, blackmailing America’s closest allies and threatening the future of Nato itself. From leaking messages with other world leaders to whining about the Nobel peace prize, the US president has gone from unstable to seemingly unhinged.

Rolling coverage of the World Economic Forum in Davos, where European Commission president says Europe must respond to geopolitical shocksFull report: Trump tariffs over Greenland are an error, says Ursula von der LeyenScott Bessent then denies that European Union countries, and the UK, could exercise the “nuclear option” over the Greenland crisis, and dump their holdings of US Treasuries.Asked how the Treasury Department, and the White House, would prepare for this, Bessent insists it is a “completely false narrative”, and claims the media are “hysterical” over the issue.I would say this is the same kind of hysteria that we heard on April 2nd.
