Donald Trump may have turned down the heat by pledging no force will be used to take over Greenland, but he remains determined to control it. 

The US President told a large audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos he wants immediate negotiations for acquiring the Danish territory – at one point calling it 'our territory.' 

Nine News Europe correspondent Mimi Becker told Mike Hosking he's still sending a strong and pointed message to Europe. 

She says Trump says they have a choice – saying yes and the US will be appreciative, or saying no and the US will remember.

NZ Special Agricultural Trade Envoy and Meat Industry Association Chair Nathan Guy told Mike Hosking the business community needs this deal now more than ever.  

He says there’s massive economic opportunity and growth opportunities, and even though the investment clause has been booted around as a political football, the exporters he talked to aren’t concerned about it.

Former Treasury Secretary and NZ Initiative Senior Fellow Murray Horn told Mike Hosking borrowing more and more won't work.  

He says all that will do is delay the economic pain and make it worse.
