What time is Trump speaking today? What time is his speech in Davos - schedule as US President to be hours late after Air Force One issue

The US President is expected to land around three hours late for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

He will be arriving in Davos later than planned after Air Force One was forced to do a U-turn following a "minor electrical issue". Later this afternoon, he'll give a special address, during which he had planned to list all his achievements and affordability agenda, including policies to lower housing costs.

But attendees will be paying close attention to his plans on Greenland after the president threatened to impose tariffs on European countries opposing his proposed takeover. Asked how far he was willing to go to acquire Greenland, Trump told reporters during a news conference at the White House late on Tuesday: "You'll find out".

Speeches and appearances at the World Economic Forum are already underway today. The US President and other global leaders have a jam-packed schedule at Davos.
