Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager. And I'm Lisa Mateo. Lisa, we begin at the White House where President Trump says he has accepted an honor he has long said he deserves. The president says Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Karina Machado presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize medal during a White House meeting.
In a social media post, the president called it a wonderful gesture of mutual respect.
Chapter 2: What honor did President Trump receive from Maria Karina Machado?
Machado compared it to a similar gesture 200 years ago when the Marquis de Lafayette presented a medal of George Washington to Venezuela's Simon Bolivar for liberating much of South America from Spain.
The people of Bolívar are giving back to the heir of Washington a medal, in this case a medal of the Nobel Peace Prize, as a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom.
Maria Karina Machado may be hoping to get in President Trump's good graces after the ouster of Nicolás Maduro. The president has said she doesn't have the support or respect to run her country, clearing the way for Venezuela's vice president, Delce Rodriguez, to take over as acting president.
To the latest on Greenland, Nathan, both Denmark and Greenland are stepping up lobbying of U.S. lawmakers in an effort to head off President Trump's push to take control of the island. A group of senators is set to meet members of the Danish parliament in Copenhagen today to show support for Greenland's sovereignty.
Jean Shaheen is the most senior Democrat of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. She tells Bloomberg's Michelle Hussein that the Senate is just looking for clarity.
I don't think there is any concern on the part of our allies, Denmark and Greenland, about partnering with the United States. And that's the route we should be taking. It should be diplomatic. We should be engaging in conversations if there is an interest on the part of this administration in additional operations there.
New Hampshire Senator Gene Shaheen. Get the full conversation on Bloomberg's The Michelle Hussein Show. It's available on the Bloomberg podcast channel on YouTube. And high level talks between Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. earlier this week ended in a stalemate.
And Lisa Bloomberg Economics has found President Trump is following through on more of his threats during his second term. In his first term, the president carried out about 40 percent of the threats he made. That rate has risen in his second administration, leading some to say that the taco trade, investor shorthand for Trump always chickens out, may be fading.
We get more from Bloomberg chief emerging markets economist Zia Daoud.
