Zurich: US President Donald Trump has made an astonishing series of attacks apparently designed to humiliate allies France, Britain and Canada as the row over Greenland threatens to engulf the Davos forum.
In a flurry of Truth Social posts and comments to reporters a day before he leaves for the elite gathering on Wednesday, Trump leaked apparently private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and the head of NATO.
His comments leave the transatlantic alliance in perhaps its most fragile state since World War II -- and underscore that Trump is determined to make a show of power at the meeting in the Swiss ski resort.
On the first anniversary of his inauguration for a second term that has already upended the global order, Trump took particular aim at Macron as their longstanding bromance appeared to implode.
Trump first expressed his disdain for Macron's refusal to join his so-called "Board of Peace" for resolving conflicts worldwide.
