Ignatius' Report: "Trump is who he is, he says and does what he wants..." What to Expect Next

Omega's correspondent in Washington, Michalis Ignatiou, reports that President Trump appears to have revised his policy towards Europe, abandoning threats and sanctions. This change is said to have been triggered by the concern of his associates regarding the negative market reaction to his initial proposal to purchase Greenland. Trump, according to Ignatiou, was influenced by the stock market's rise following the announcement of the retreat. President Trump has withdrawn his claims regarding Greenland and is considering an agreement that would resemble the Cyprus-United Kingdom relationship. This marks a significant shift in tactics, as he had previously adopted a more aggressive stance towards European countries. According to Ignatiou, the initial proposal for Greenland caused panic among Trump's advisors, who urged him to back down. The behavior of the stock markets and the potential impact on global markets were key factors in his decision. Trump returned to Washington today and is expected to comment on his experience in Davos. However, no further change in his attitude is expected, although Ignatiou emphasizes that Trump is unpredictable: "Trump is who he is, he says and does what he wants...".
