The World Plots Its Response to an 'Adversarial' America

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

A.M. Edition for Jan. 21. Wary European allies are preparing for President Trump’s arrival at the World Economic Forum today. WSJ’s Washington coverage chief Damian Paletta says the President is very much at peace, being more adversarial with U.S. allies and that he's not going to take no for an answer when it comes to Greenland. Plus, the U.S. shifts military firepower to the Middle East. And, your boss might be lauding the efficiencies of AI, but new research finds chatbots aren’t saving workers much time - if any - at all.
