Would Denmark Ever Sell Greenland?

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

A.M. Edition for Jan. 7. We exclusively report that President Trump may be aiming to buy Greenland, and that threatening rhetoric about the island is meant to pressure Denmark into negotiations. WSJ Brussels bureau chief Daniel Michaels discusses whether there’s any path to a potential deal. Plus, President Trump says Venezuela will give the U.S. up to 50 million barrels of oil. And we'll look at big banks' bullish predictions for the stock market in 2026 despite last year's runup. Luke Vargas hosts.
