What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, markets are reeling after Trump starts a trade war over Greenland.
Then, after saying they wouldn't, Chachapiti is adding ads. It's Tuesday, January 20th.
What trade war is Trump threatening over Greenland?
Let's ride.
Greetings from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where the Morning Brew Daily team is recording podcasts and interviews and social media content all week. It's only been 48 hours on the ground, and as we're about to get into, there are a lot of world economic issues swirling that are going to be hashed out here. What are my impressions as a first-time Swiss Alps visitor?
How is OpenAI planning to monetize ChatGPT with ads?
Thanks for asking. The mountains are indeed stunning. I need to get on cross-country skis ASAP, and the Swiss hot dog game is on point. Toby, what are your observations from Davos so far?
Yeah, I had a totally incorrect impression of what Davos is. When I heard conference, I thought one big building, convention space, everyone meets kind of at a central location. Not the case whatsoever. The whole conference is sort of distributed throughout downtown where brands and even countries take over retail locations as they're homes for a week. And some of these houses are wild. USA House is in this big old church on the corner. It's rather ominous looking.
What are the impressions from the World Economic Forum in Davos?
Palantir's House looks like a Malibu sushi restaurant. Lightspeed House, where we're recording from, is kind of this retro futuristic space. That's sandwiched between the South African delegation and an Italian restaurant. So it's all got this sort of chaos energy running beneath the surface that you get when you cram so many businesses and nations together. into a tiny Swiss mountain town. And we're recording right in the middle of it, which is pretty cool. But first, a word from our sponsor, Indeed. Neil, I'm in the mood for fondue.

You go away for a three-day weekend, and what do you come back to? A potential fully-blown trade war, not to mention diplomatic crisis. between the U.S. and Europe over who controls Greenland. On Saturday, President Trump dropped an economic and geopolitical bomb, threatening to hit eight European allies with a 10% tariff by February 1st, rising to 25% in June, should there not be a deal for, quote, the purchase of Greenland from Denmark. With the tariff threat, Trump singled out eight countries, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, and Finland, who were rallying in defense of the territory. But there's more. Yesterday, Norway's prime minister revealed that Trump said his pursuit of Greenland
was tied in part to not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded by a committee in Norway. Whereas Europe played nice with Trump last year around Liberation Day tariffs, they are drawing the red line now, warning that tariff threats, quote, undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. The EU is reading tariffs on over $100 billion worth of US goods if Trump follows through, and some outraged leaders have even floated the so-called bazooka option, known as the anti-coercion instrument,
