The European Parliament has suspended the approval of a key US trade deal agreed in July in protest against Donald Trump's demand to take over Greenland. The suspension was announced in Strasbourg, France, on Wednesday, as Trump addressed the World Economic Forum in Davos. The move followed renewed trade tensions between the US and Europe sparked by Trump's bid to acquire Greenland, which had rattled financial markets and revived talk of a trade war. Trump later announced a 'framework deal' on Greenland's future and backed off his threat to impose new tariffs on eight NATO members. The EU's suspension of the trade deal approval process has renewed the possibility of tariffs on $109bn worth of American goods.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, criticizing President Trump's actions as rupturing the world order through economic coercion.

He emphasized the importance of collective investments in resilience and shared standards to reduce fragmentation. Carney outlined Canada's new approach, termed 'value-based realism,' which aims to be both principled and pragmatic in its commitment to fundamental values and recognition of divergent interests.

President Trump has backed off his threat to impose tariffs on European countries over their objections to his efforts to acquire Greenland, stating that he and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte have reached 'the framework of a future deal' regarding the island.

While specifics of the framework are unclear, it is reported to involve increased NATO involvement and security measures beyond the existing 1951 U.S. agreement. The U.S. ownership of Greenland remains a contentious issue, with Denmark and Greenland maintaining that it is a red line.

The article suggests that the notion of an affordability crisis has significant political power, even if it's not entirely grounded in economic reality. It highlights the irony that Trump's policies have not aligned with his campaign promises on affordability.

US President Donald Trump has expressed opposition to the UK's plan to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, citing concerns that it could jeopardize US access to the Diego Garcia military base. Trump linked this opposition to his push to acquire Greenland from Denmark, suggesting that both moves are part of a 'new Trump Doctrine' outlined in the National Security Strategy. The Chagos Islands, particularly Diego Garcia, are strategically important due to their location in the Indian Ocean, which is vital for global shipping and potential US-China conflicts. The UK's decision to transfer sovereignty while leasing back Diego Garcia for at least 99 years has raised concerns about future security and potential Chinese influence.

The article discusses President Trump's newly established Board of Peace, which aims to implement his 20-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip.
