Response to Trump’s Davos speech
Reacting to Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, a Stop Trump Spokesperson said:
“At Davos, Trump laid out his alternative world order, an order based on aggression, bullying and warfare — a world order that would devastate the global economy, increase inequality, accelerate climate collapse, and unleash violence before diplomacy.
World leaders must finally recognise that you cannot appease fascism. European leaders saw the genocide in Gaza and are only now waking up to the urgency of upholding international law and confronting Trump because he seeks a colonial takeover of Greenland. The lesson is clear: be it Palestine, Ukraine, Venezuela, or Greenland, countries must apply international law and human rights consistently — rather than adopting a colonialist, white supremacist approach that lets tyrants off the hook whenever it serves their interests.
The UK government has fundamentally misunderstood the moment we are living in. It must now declare an end to its failed appeasement policy and declare independence from this dangerous leader and the US oligarchy, instead using its status to rebuild and re-focus multilateral institutions on promoting equality and peace.”
