Treasury Secretary Scott Besant spoke already at Davos today defending Trump's tariffs.

Tomorrow, Trump will speak, and Thursday will be an event for the Board of Peace that the president created to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza, where Trump has attempted to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Trump recently threatened to tariff eight European nations, all of them NATO members, if a deal is not reached for the U.S.

to purchase Greenland, part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Trump also texted the prime minister of Norway that the fact he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize is weighing on his decision-making.

Overnight, Trump posted that French President Emmanuel Macron texted him, quote, "...I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland."

Trump posted that he's going to impose 10 percent tariffs on those countries starting in February.

Then he's going to raise it to 25 percent in June.

That is until a Greenland deal happens.

Now, we don't know details here.

I've asked the White House, for example, what law would authorize this and have received no word yet.

But those eight European countries, meanwhile, they're members of NATO, and they've said they stand in full solidarity with fellow NATO member Denmark and Greenland, which is a Denmark territory.

Hey, good morning.

Well, today, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant will be speaking in Davos.

Then Trump is scheduled to talk on Wednesday.

And then on Thursday, there's what the White House is calling a charter announcement for the Board of Peace that Trump created to oversee reconstruction in Gaza after the conflict he's been trying to end between Israel and Hamas.
