Chapter 2: What are President Trump's latest tariff decisions regarding European nations?
President Trump will refrain from imposing tariffs on goods from those European nations opposed to his efforts to take possession of Greenland. Today in a post on Truth Social, Trump cited the framework of a future deal reached with NATO. Now, the post followed a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Afterwards, Trump spoke with reporters.
It's a long-term deal. It's the ultimate long-term deal. I think it puts everybody in a really good position, especially as it pertains to security and minerals.
Now, the New York Times is reporting the discussions on a framework included a compromise in which Denmark would give the U.S. sovereignty over small pockets of the territory's land for construction of military bases. Now, Trump's remarks on Greenland sparked a rally in stocks, bonds, and the dollar.

There seems to be or markets are telling us that this was a lot of noise.

The American people should not have their interest rates determined by someone who was, at best, grossly negligent in obtaining favorable interest rates for herself.
But those allegations are unproven, and the justices seem to acknowledge that firing Cook could upend the Fed's independence. Justice Brent Kavanaugh expressed skepticism of there being no judicial review of the actions of the president.

Chapter 4: What is the Supreme Court's stance on Trump's attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook?
very low bar for cause that the president alone determines. And that would weaken, if not shatter, the independence of the Federal Reserve.
Fed Governor Cook released a statement saying that as long as she serves at the Federal Reserve, she will uphold the principle of political independence. In Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.
The notion of Fed independence was brought up repeatedly by all parties during oral arguments in the Lisa Cook case. But for Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council... The Fed crossed the line of being independent when Chair Powell warned about the impact of President Trump's tariffs.
For sure you want to talk about inflation, but precisely then, right when President Trump's coming in and setting his tariff agenda, to have the Fed criticize him so vehemently, I think is inconsistent with the desire for independence.
Kevin Hassett speaking there to Bloomberg on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Congress is one step closer to gaining the authority to review AI chip sales to China.
