  • From The New York Times, it's the headlines.

  • I'm Tracy Mumford.

  • Today's Monday, January 19th.

  • Here's what we're covering.

  • President Trump's campaign to make Greenland part of the United States escalated this weekend

  • as he threatened to slap tariffs on European nations that don't cooperate with him.

  • He announced he would hit some of the US's closest allies, including Britain,

  • France, and Germany, with a 10% tariff starting in February,

  • and he said he'd ramp it up to 25% in June, quote,

  • until such time as a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland.

  • The countries he targeted are all NATO members that have expressed solidarity with Denmark in the face of Trump's repeated demands that it should give up control of Greenland.

  • The Arctic island is a semi-autonomous Danish territory,

  • and recent polls have shown that Greenlanders overwhelmingly opposed becoming part of the U.S.

  • What we saw as soon as it happened was just an absolute scramble to find a solution.
