California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday slammed European leaders’ response to the growing crisis over Greenland, saying they must stand up to President Trump as he threatens to take over the Danish territory.
“This guy’s playing folks for fools. They need to stand tall, stand firm, stand united,” Newsom said. “This guy’s a wrecking ball. I hope people are waking up to what we’re dealing with.”
Newsom spoke to reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, an annual event that draws world and corporate leaders. Trump is also scheduled to attend.
Trump has called for the United States to purchase Greenland, and has not ruled out the use of military force, even though Denmark is a member of NATO along with the United States.
Newsom, who is a likely candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028, warned that Europe can’t count on diplomacy to end the crisis.
“Diplomacy with Donald Trump? He’s a T-Rex,” said Newsom. “You mate with him or he devours you.”
Criticism of Trump’s threats to Greenland has also been growing among Republicans. The conservative Wall Street Journal accused Trump of “bullying imperialism” in an editorial on Tuesday.
“No one should underestimate the shock his Greenland project is producing among allies. Along with his tariffs and his tilt toward Russia against Ukraine, he is alienating Western Europe in a way that will be hard to repair,” the Journal wrote.
Greenland is a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, which has granted the United States extensive use of the island for military bases.
