European leaders are holding a summit today to talk about President Trump's demand to acquire Greenland.

Yesterday at the World Economic Summit in Davos, Trump said he would not use military force to annex the world's largest island.

It's controlled by Denmark, a NATO ally.

Trump told Fox Business News today he's got the framework of a deal for Greenland.

But top officials from Denmark and Greenland say they have no details of this agreement.

Trump has also formally presented his Board of Peace.

He first pitched the idea as a group that would rebuild Gaza after the ceasefire took effect.

Officials from more than a dozen nations joined Trump in Davos, Switzerland today to sign a charter.

Many European nations are not participating, critics say.

Trump is trying to eclipse the United Nations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also met with Trump today in Switzerland.

The Ukrainian leader is not part of the Board of Peace.

There's been no formal readout of their conversation.

Meanwhile, Trump's envoys are headed for Moscow today.

They'll talk with Russian President Putin about Russia's war in Ukraine.

Vice President Vance is due in Minnesota today as federal immigration operations there are not showing any sign of letting up.
