And in today's back of the brief, Mexico hands over dozens of cartel members to U.S.

authorities, signaling closer cooperation as the Mexican government faces pressure from the Trump administration.

But first, today's PDB Spotlight.

I wanted to continue our coverage of the Greenland issue.

I mean, because can you ever, ever get tired of talking about Greenland?

Across Europe, there's been something close to a collective sigh of relief, sort of.

During his speech at the World Economic Forum yesterday, President Trump said clearly that he is not considering military action to acquire Greenland.

And while the idea of U.S.

troops landing on the island was always unlikely, the fact that it was even part of the public conversation understandably rattled nerves across Europe.

So, removing military action, no matter how unlikely, from the table was welcome news for many American allies.

But that clarification came with an important caveat.

Trump made clear that while military action is off the table, his view of Greenland's strategic importance has not changed.

He reiterated that the island sits at the center of U.S.

security interests in the Arctic, touching shipping routes and natural resources and great power competition, particularly, of course, China and Russia.

So, in other words, there's no D-Day-style invasion of Greenland coming, but the strategic interest hasn't gone away.

Now, while the lack of military action was welcome news, of course, the overall message from the president didn't land especially well with European leaders in Davos.

Reports from the summit describe a noticeably cool reception.

The concern isn't just about Greenland itself, but about the precedent of treating allied territory as a negotiable strategic asset.

Then, later in the day, President Trump announced a new development.

In a statement posted to social media, the president said he had what he called a very productive meeting, that was in quotes, a very productive meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and that the two had formed what Trump described as a framework for a future deal related to Greenland, and more broadly, the Arctic region.
