from Here's the Scoop · host maggie vespa, kathryn prociv, christine romans, laura jarrett, monica alba

President Donald Trump is heading to Davos, Switzerland, to meet with world leaders at the World Economic Forum, after tensions with European leaders ramped up this weekend over text messages. Why is Trump icing out America’s closest allies just before he meets them face-to-face? NBC News White House Correspondent Monica Alba joins guest host Laura Jarrett to preview the president’s trip. Plus, the Supreme Court is weighing the fate of key pieces of Trump’s economic agenda. As the court gets ready to deliver its decision about his sweeping tariffs, it will also hear oral arguments over the president’s ability to legally fire a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. NBC News Senior Business Correspondent Christine Romans breaks down what this could mean for businesses and markets. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
