Hello, everyone.

I'm Kimberly Adams.

Welcome back to Make Me Smart, where none of us is as smart as all of us.

Last week, a lot went down when President Donald Trump went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump escalated his demands for Greenland and then walked back on his threats after announcing a framework of a future deal on Greenland with NATO.

But we still don't really have any details on that.

This whole situation has caused and sort of added to a lot of conversation outside of the United States.

about how the rest of the world should respond to Trump.

And it's put the economic relationship between the U.S.

and Europe back into the spotlight.

We wanted to learn more about how all this news is being received outside the U.S.

So today we're talking with Paola Tama.

She's a correspondent for the Financial Times who covers the EU economy from Brussels, Belgium.
