A consequential presidency one year in
Kurt Shillinger
Managing Editor
Back to work....聽In Europe, the pressing question over the weekend was how to respond to Donald Trump鈥檚 ambitions聽to acquire聽Greenland.聽The American president says the territory is essential to U.S. and global security, and has criticized Denmark for not securing it adequately.聽Denmark sent more troops to the Arctic Island yesterday after the American president refused to rule out taking it by force. Meanwhile, European leaders huddled in response to Mr. Trump鈥檚 threat to increase tariffs in order to聽force a sale of聽the autonomous territory. The issue has already overshadowed this week's annual gathering in Davos.聽
These tensions among allies come as Mr. Trump finishes his first year back in office today. We start by reviewing a consequential presidency at home and abroad. Also, our chief diplomatic writer, Howard LaFranchi, reports on claims of Russian human rights violations through the accounts of Ukrainians.
