News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Doug Krisner. President Trump will refrain from imposing tariffs on goods from those European nations opposed to his effort to take possession of Greenland. Earlier today in a post on Truth Social, Trump cited a framework on a future deal reached with NATO.

68.524 - 83.748 Doug Krisner

This followed a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Later in the day, Rutte explained the Greenland framework. On Fox News, Rutte said the talks with Trump did not include Danish control of Greenland.

84.369 - 102.077 Mark Rutte

That issue did not come up anymore in my conversations tonight, Mr. President. He very much focused on what do we need to do to make sure that that huge Arctic region, where change is taking place at the moment, where the Chinese and Russians are more and more active, how we can protect that. That was really the focus of our discussions.

102.057 - 121.183 Doug Krisner

That is NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte speaking earlier on Fox News. President Trump's decision on a candidate to be the next Fed chair is near conclusion. The list includes finalists like BlackRock's Rick Reeder, NEC Director Kevin Hassett, Fed Governor Chris Waller, and former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.

121.603 - 132.417 Doug Krisner

Today, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said the president would reach a decision next week. Trump talked about his process today with CNBC on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

133.058 - 151.521 Unknown

I'd say we're down to three, but we're down to two. And I probably can tell you we're down to maybe one in my mind. But I will say this is very impressive. Yeah, he's been there because for a while the betting markets had wars in the league. Rick is very good. They're all good. You know, all three are good. All three would be, I think, good.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the Greenland deal discussed by Trump?

241.175 - 255.49 James Comer

The ayes have it. Pursuant to this vote, the committee hereby favorably reports and adopts this report recommending that the House of Representatives find William J. Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with the subpoena duly issued by this committee.

255.59 - 274.971 Doug Krisner

That is House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer. Now, this contempt charge will next head to the House floor for a full vote. Passage would set up a referral to the DOJ, which then would have to decide whether to prosecute. On Thursday, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will be traveling to Russia.

275.352 - 295.195 Doug Krisner

They are set to talk with President Vladimir Putin on the latest proposals for a peace plan to end the war in Ukraine. And at the same time, President Trump said he's planning to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday in Davos. Trump said he believes Ukraine and Russia are at a point where they can come together and get a deal done.

300.361 - 306.647 Steve Witkoff

Me at the president, with Jared at the president's direction, while working so hard for the peace, we hope that'll occur.

Chapter 3: What framework did Trump propose regarding Greenland?

306.888 - 324.556 Steve Witkoff

We think people, you're right, are suffering on both sides. It's cold there. And not to have heat is terrible. And we've got to correct all of these things. But a peace deal corrects it. And the president is focused on that peace deal. It's a very, very important part of his agenda.

That is U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff speaking to Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been meeting with top investors in the Middle East to line up funding for a new investment round.
