EXCERPTS: Special addresses by ten major leaders were the featured sessions on the three main days of the conference...
Donald Trump: . . . He subsequently discussed Somalians, including both the 2020s Minnesota fraud scandals, representative Ilhan Omar, and piracy off the coast of Somalia, saying that Somalians "turned out to be higher IQ than we thought. I always say these are low IQ people. How do they go into Minnesota and steal all that money?"

Zelensky ready to make a peace deal, Trump claims after Davos meeting

EXCERPTS: Trump's remarks followed a meeting between the two leaders earlier that day at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Shortly after the meeting, Zelensky announced that Ukraine would participate in trilateral talks with the U.S. and Russia in the United Arab Emirates starting Jan. 23.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Jan. 22, Trump said Zelensky told him during their conversation that he was ready to make a peace deal. "He said he'd like to make a deal. ... He came and he said he wants to make a deal," Trump said.
The comment marks a shift from Trump's position earlier this month, when he claimed that Zelensky was the one holding up a potential agreement.
Trump also said on Jan. 22 that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to make a deal. As Trump spoke to reporters, his envoys held a meeting with Putin and his aides in Moscow ahead of the trilateral talks.
While Trump was asked to provide details about the content of the agreement, the remaining points of contention, and possible changes that may have made Kyiv or Moscow more amenable to a deal, the U.S. president provided few specifics. He said there were "no changes" and that the discussion topics are "things that have been discussed for six or seven months."
At times, Trump's commentary on the war veered into disjointed abstractions and real estate jargon... [...] "It's really tough for the people of Ukraine, I'll tell you that," Trump said. "How they live, without heat, where it's 20 degrees below zero, you know it's very cold. ... I asked (Zelensky), I mean, how do they do that and he gave me an answer. It's pretty amazing what they do to live. It's no way to live." (MORE - missing details)
