eyes on a target, which is the largest island in the world, Greenland, and he's not going to take no for an answer.

And so I think we saw most of his first year of his second term, business leaders, world leaders, trying to play nice with him, trying to convince him that there are alternatives to his hard charging tactics.

And now, quite frankly, business leaders and world leaders have to decide whether to finally stand up to him and push back.

And the question is, what do they do?

What kind of retaliatory measures can they take?

Can they band together?

Europe and Canada actually decouple from the United States.

These are the sorts of conversations that are actively taking place at Davos and around the world right now as President Trump

prepares to kind of draw his line in the sand or his line in the snow, so to speak, when he says, you know, what his actual plan is for Greenland.

How is he going to proceed with Russia and Ukraine?

You know, all these things kind of click together.

Can the new world order replace an old world order that was much more cooperative and maybe slow moving, but much more of an alliance?

You know, how does it work if the U.S.

isn't a part of that, isn't leading that alliance anymore?

No.

Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, has made comments in recent weeks that are much more cautious.

You know, we're not going to use the military.
