They've shaken hands, but the fists remain clenched. President Donald Trump's first year back in office has culminated in a high-stakes showdown at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

EU Blasts Trump’s Greenland Tariffs at Davos
According to Al Jazeera, European leaders are standing firm against what they describe as a violation of international trade norms. The controversy centers on Trump's aggressive use of tariffs related to Greenland's strategic resources—a move the EU claims breaks existing agreements.
A deal is a deal. These unilateral tariffs don't just target goods; they target the trust that underpins our global economic order.
A Year of Global Turbulence
The trade spat is erupting amid a landscape of global crises. In Gaza, aid restrictions have led to tragic outcomes, including the death of a baby girl from extreme cold. Meanwhile, Qatar’s Prime Minister has reiterated that an Israeli withdrawal is the only path forward. In Syria, the geopolitical map is being redrawn as the national army pushes into oil-rich territories previously held by Kurdish forces.
