Welcome to our European live coverage.

In the build-up to Donald Trump’s expected appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, the US president has reiterated his threats to take Greenland, suggesting Europe wouldn’t “push back too much”.

He also threatened 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne to get Emmanuel Macron to join his Gaza “board of peace”.

Trump is expected to meet global business leaders in Davos on Wednesday, Reuters has reported, as his presence looms large over the annual gathering in the Swiss resort.

Business leaders – including CEOs in financial services, crypto and consulting – were invited to a reception after Trump’s special address to the forum, the news agency said, citing sources.

In key developments:

• Trump said of European leaders over his attempt to buy Greenland: “I don’t think they’re gonna push back too much. We have to have it. They have to have this done.”

• Trump, who is expected to arrive in Davos on Wednesday, has posted an image on his Truth Social platform of what it says is a “note from President Emmanuel Macon” in which it appears Macron says: “I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.” Macron also says “let us try to build great things” and that he can set up a G7 meeting in Paris on Thursday as well as proposing dinner together that day.

• China is being represented in Davos by vice-premier He Lifeng, who is due to deliver an address on Tuesday.

• Tuesday’s program at the World Economic Forum also includes addresses from Macron, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney.
