President Trump ramping up rhetoric over Greenland and threatening higher tariffs on America's closest allies as he prepares to pitch his affordability message to the global elites at Davos. Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall has more from Washington.
President Trump is really just ramping up the pressure as he heads to Davos. That speech tomorrow now slated for 8.30 a.m. Eastern.
And though he is abroad, of course, we know that he's going to be focusing in on some domestic issues, including that his NEC director, Kevin Hassett, has already previewed that he's going to roll out a plan related to letting Americans use and pull from their 401k for a down payment. on homes.
And that's Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall in the nation's capital. While President Trump has unleashed fresh social media attacks against European allies and threatened crushing tariffs on French wine, underlining the stakes for high-level meetings planned in Davos this week.
In a flurry of comments and posts early this morning, Trump took a swipe at President Emmanuel Macron of France for rejecting an invitation to back his latest peace initiative and suggested the U.S. would impose duties on France's politically sensitive agriculture sector. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook has more from Brussels.
Donald Trump, in what seems to be a sort of tradition now, before his trips coming to Europe, he was posting screenshots of text messages he got from Mark Rutte and from the president of France, Emmanuel Macron. And I'll just read here what he put out. And this is apparently a text from Macron saying, my friend, we are totally in line on Syria. We can do great things on Iran.
I don't understand what you're doing with Greenland. Let's try to build great things. I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danish, the Syrians, the Russians in the margins. Let's have dinner together in Paris and talk on Thursday before you go back to the United States.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments regarding Trump's Greenland controversy?
The company now has $42.2 billion of bridge loans in place, according to a filing. Netflix, which previously agreed to pay $27.75 a share in cash and stock for the Warner assets, has now agreed to pay the full amount in cash. Rival bidder Paramount Skydance has launched an all-cash $30 a share tender offer for all of Warner Bros.
When Donald Trump was sworn in for his second presidential term, his trove of financial assets already differed from when he first took the oath of office. And now, a year in, one notable change from a year ago has been the growing concentration of the family's net worth in cryptocurrencies. The Trumps have generated about $1.4 billion from crypto projects that are new to his second term.
That's according to Bloomberg analysis. These have gotten a boost from Trump's own policies as he has signed crypto legislation and appointed regulators who tossed out lawsuits against the industry. President Trump's renewed threats to take control of Greenland are fueling a broad sell-off on Wall Street. We get more with Bloomberg Global Trade Editor Brendan Murray.
The markets don't like the fact that we could be headed back to a transatlantic trade war. France has been one of the strongest countries to come out against the latest tariff threat from President Trump, saying that the European Union should use its strongest weapons to retaliate.
We heard Treasury Secretary Besant this morning say he didn't specify Europe, but he said what's in your best interest is to not retaliate and to just go along with the trade deal that the U.S. has negotiated with you.
And that's Bloomberg's Brendan Murray. And S&P futures are down 1.6 percent this morning. Dow futures down 1.4 percent. NASDAQ futures down 1.9 percent. 10-year treasury yield at 4.28%. The yield on the two-year, 3.58%. And the 30-year yield, 4.91%. And in deal news, Wrapped Therapeutics is being bought by UK drugmaker GSK. The deal valued at $2.2 billion.
