Chapter 2: What is the latest news from the European leaders' summit regarding Greenland?

3.655 - 23.44 Corva Kuhlman

European leaders are holding a summit today to talk about President Trump's demand to acquire Greenland. Yesterday at the World Economic Summit in Davos, Trump said he would not use military force to annex the world's largest island. It's controlled by Denmark, a NATO ally. Trump told Fox Business News today he's got the framework of a deal for Greenland.

Essentially, it's total access. It's there's no end. There's no time limit. We're not doing a 99 or 10 year or anything else. You know, the famous 99 year deals that you hear about because countries can't do it for that. Countries go on longer.

But top officials from Denmark and Greenland say they have no details of this agreement. Trump has also formally presented his Board of Peace. He first pitched the idea as a group that would rebuild Gaza after the ceasefire took effect. Officials from more than a dozen nations joined Trump in Davos, Switzerland today to sign a charter. Many European nations are not participating, critics say.

Trump is trying to eclipse the United Nations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also met with Trump today in Switzerland. The Ukrainian leader is not part of the Board of Peace. There's been no formal readout of their conversation. Meanwhile, Trump's envoys are headed for Moscow today. They'll talk with Russian President Putin about Russia's war in Ukraine.

The White House says Vance will hold a roundtable meeting with local leaders and community members and, quote, deliver remarks focused on restoring law and order in Minnesota. Since early December, ICE agents have been accused of heavy-handed tactics, racial profiling, and arresting U.S. citizens. After an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Macklin Good, Vance defended the agent's actions.

I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it's a tragedy of her own making and a tragedy of the far left who has marshaled an entire movement, a lunatic fringe, against our law enforcement officers.

134.094 - 144.045 Peter Cox

Vance also visited Minneapolis in September after a mass shooting at a Catholic church and school. For NPR News, I'm Peter Cox in St. Paul.

Chapter 3: What details did Trump provide about his Board of Peace initiative?

216.892 - 229.568 Andrea Lucas

She found fault with the section that says that repeatedly calling somebody by a name or pronoun they no longer use or denying someone access to a bathroom are forms of harassment and therefore illegal discrimination.

Still, it's not clear why Lucas has called a vote to rescind the entire guidance, nearly 200 pages long, which also addresses harassment based on race, sex, and age, among other protected characteristics. Craig Lean is with the employment law firm K&L Gates.

The National Weather Service says an Arctic blast of cold is pummeling the northern plains today. There are forecasts of wind chills of 50 degrees below zero. The frigid cold will combine to create a major winter storm. That will start hitting the southern plains and parts of the south by tomorrow. Areas in the south could get crippling ice. This is NPR.
