Davos Braces for Greenland Showdown After Trump Posts

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

A.M. Edition for Jan. 20. President Trump has agreed to hold a meeting about Greenland at the World Economic Forum - while also reiterating his desire to buy the island. Trump has also fired off a series of Truth Social posts threatening tariffs on French wine and lashing out at the leader of the U.K. WSJ editor Marcus Walker says for Europe, the U.S. has crossed a red line - yet leaders are still trying to stave off a costly decoupling. Plus, we look at what this all means for markets. And, why 5am wakeups aren’t good for everyone. Caitlin McCabe hosts. Sign up for the WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.
