Lagarde: The US 'behaves very strangely as an ally'

The President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, stated that the US “behaves very strangely as an ally,” referring to Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs and his desire to buy Greenland. Lagarde emphasized the need for unity and determination from the European Union in the face of US policies. She admitted that she will watch Trump’s speech in Davos, but does not plan to meet him personally. She expressed hope that leaders will find a positive solution, avoiding a situation of hostility.
