Dominant Global Story: Trump-Greenland Tensions Escalate Ahead of Davos

President Trump has intensified his push for U.S. control over Greenland, threatening steep tariffs (including up to 200% on French champagne/wine and broader levies on several European nations) unless allies support his plans.
He shared what appear to be private text messages from European leaders (including Macron and others) on social media, sparking outrage over diplomatic norms.
European leaders, including EU officials like Ursula von der Leyen, have called the threats a "mistake" and vowed a united, proportional response. Markets reacted sharply: Dow down significantly (reports of 500–700+ points), global stocks tumbling amid trade war fears.
Trump is heading to the Davos summit in Switzerland, where Greenland is expected to dominate discussions, with possible side meetings with NATO/European counterparts.
