How far are you willing to go to acquire Greenland? You'll find out. President Trump says all options remain on the table in regard to Greenland, as the issue dominates discussions in Davos.

It's Wednesday, January 21st. This is Morning Wire.
The Charlie Kirk assassination case continues as Erica Kirk seeks to stop further delays from the defense. I think it's a way to put some pressure on the judge and say, judge, it's up to you to run your courtroom and move this case along.
Chapter 2: How is President Trump addressing the acquisition of Greenland?
And as year one of President Trump's second term officially wraps up, we talked to our White House correspondent about how many campaign promises he was able to keep. These are accomplishments. We have a lot of accomplishments. This is the anniversary, first anniversary, and it's been an amazing period of time.
Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

Chapter 3: What motion has Erika Kirk filed regarding her husband's trial?
Now, all eyes at this event are always naturally on the president of the United States, but even more so this year, especially given Trump's recent clashes with Europe. Remember, on Saturday, he said that if Europe does not facilitate and support a deal for the U.S. to acquire Greenland...
He'll hit a number of countries there with a new 10% tariff starting in February, and then it'll jump to 25% in June. It'll stay in place, quote, until such a time as a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland. Now, those tariffs will apply to goods coming from a host of countries.
Chapter 4: What are the reasons behind the delays in the Robinson trial?
including Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, and Finland. So a lot of goods at stake there. Yeah, you're talking about billions of dollars in new tariffs, potentially. So how have the Europeans responded so far this week? Well, right now, they're embracing a teamwork approach, banding together against Donald Trump.
Leaders from across the EU have been huddling already this week, trying to formulate a strategy
Chapter 5: What are the major accomplishments of President Trump in his second term?
and it could spark an enormous trade war. French President Emmanuel Macron, for example, said the EU, quote, should not hesitate to use their anti-coercion instrument, also known unofficially as, this is a real name, the trade bazooka. That mechanism, which has never been used before, includes widespread bans on American investments in Europe,
Restrictions on American exports and imports across Europe, the list goes on. It's pretty serious stuff. Now, they could also take a more subdued approach and simply back out of the previously agreed on U.S. and EU trade deal. But more broadly, to give you an idea of how the Europeans are responding, listen to Ursula von der Leyen.
She's the head of the EU and told the conference Tuesday that the new threat of tariffs from Trump was an act of betrayal.
The proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The European Union and the United States have agreed to a trade deal last July. And in politics, as in business, a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.
California governor and 2028 hopeful Gavin Newsom also made an appearance in Davos, challenging European leaders to push back against President Trump with some pretty spicy language.
I can't take this complicity. People rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage. He's a T-Rex. You mate with him or he devours you.
All right, so the California governor calling for European leaders to defy the American president and using a lot of mixed metaphors.
Yeah, that is putting it lightly. Now, zooming out here, it's important to remember when Trump first threatened his Liberation Day tariffs back in April, European leaders almost universally slammed the president. They vowed to retaliate with tariffs of their own. rather than giving in to his demands. Basically, they said, we'll never get on board here. But that simply did not happen.
Country after country and Europe ultimately signed on to new trade deals that were largely favorable to the US. Now, Trump seemingly is very confident that he can once again use the threat of tariffs to get what he wants, in this case, Greenland. He posted on social media this week that, quote, Greenland is imperative for national and world security. There can be no going back.

Chapter 6: How is the European Union responding to Trump's trade tariffs?
So, for example, media can't publish video or photos showing Robinson's restraints. More recently, during Friday's hearing, Judge Graff actually barred a videographer from filming Robinson after defense argued that some close-up footage could allow lip readers to decipher private conversations. Notably, that restriction applied specifically for that hearing.
Judge Graff has made it clear that media access is going to continue to be handled on this case by case basis as proceedings move forward.
Now, there's also been some renewed attention on Lance Twiggs. Can you remind our audience who that is and what's going on with his FBI protection status?
Yeah, so Twiggs has been identified as Robinson's roommate and romantic partner. He recently had his FBI protection withdrawn. The 22-year-old, who reportedly identifies as transgender and has been linked to text messages about the assassination, he had an FBI security detail due to threats before he moved out of state.
To be clear though, he hasn't been charged with any crime in connection to the assassination.
Now, when is the next hearing where some of these things are going to be determined?
So the next hearing is set for February 3rd, and we can expect more on this motion from defense to try to oust the prosecution team and Erica's competing motion to move this case along and avoid further delays as it heads towards that preliminary hearing and then eventually trial.
Well, it does feel like this pre-trial season is dragging on a bit. Amanda, thanks for reporting. You're welcome. One year into his second term, President Trump says his agenda is delivering results, bringing the country into what he calls a new golden age. The White House points to successes on everything from the border and immigration to the economy and foreign diplomacy.
Joining us to discuss is Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan. Hey, Mary Margaret, hope you're keeping warm. So let's start with immigration. That was obviously a major pillar of his campaign. What has the Trump effect been on immigration?
