President Donald Trump delivered a wide-ranging speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Stocks rose after the president said "I won't use force" to take over Greenland.  Trump's comment comes one day after a global market sell-off, sparked by his threat to raise tariffs on eight European nations who oppose a U.S. acquisition of Greenland. The president also spoke about issues including U.S. economic strength, housing in America, AI and Venezuela — along with some harsh words for Europe and NATO. Trump also engaged in a Q&A session.
