President Donald Trump arrived in Switzerland on Wednesday, just a few hours before he was scheduled to deliver a speech at the World Economic Forum that is expected to touch on Greenland and the future of Venezuela.  Trump landed in Zurich before boarding a helicopter to Davos, where he is set to give a speech at 8:30 am EST. During his visit, Trump is also expected to meet with other foreign leaders and attend a business lunch.  “I believe it will be very successful, the trip. The country’s never done better. 
We have 18 trillion dollars plus coming in,” Trump said before leaving Tuesday night. “We’ve never had anything like it, and no country has had anything like it. Prices are way down. 
Gasoline now is $1.99 in a lot of places. And frankly, nobody’s seen anything like this. So it’s really good, but this will be an interesting trip. 
I have no idea what’s going to happen, but you are well represented.” Traveling with Trump to Davos are Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett, according to the White House.  Trump arrived later than planned in Zurich after his first flight had to return to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland due to an electrical issue. The problem was reportedly minor, but the White House decided to switch planes out of an abundance of caution, Leavitt told reporters.  Trump’s comments on Greenland, along with threats to impose tariffs on countries that block an American acquisition, have drawn much criticism from European leaders ahead of his speech. “I will not yield,” said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “Britain will not yield on our principles and values about the future of Greenland under threats of tariffs.” But NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the main focus should be on the Russia-Ukraine War, not Greenland.  “The risk here is that we focus, of course, on Greenland, because we have to make sure that issue gets solved in an amicable way,” he said. “But the main issue is not Greenland. Now, the main issue is Ukraine. I’m also a little bit worried that we might drop the ball focusing so much on these other issues.” Trump said Tuesday that he had “a lot of meetings scheduled on Greenland” and that “things are going to work out pretty well.” 

Greenland dominates discussions in Davos ahead of President Donald Trump’s speech, Erika Kirk files a motion to advance the trial of her husband’s alleged killer, and a look back at one year of Trump 2.0. It’s Wednesday, January 21, 2026, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below: Trump Vs. Europe President Trump is set to join global leaders at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday, kicking off a series of high-stakes meetings on tariffs, Greenland, and more. Every year, the WEF holds its annual meeting in Davos, hosting thousands of Fortune 500 business leaders, diplomats, and heads of state. Leaders from across the European Union huddled on the sidelines of the conference to formulate a strategy that could spark an enormous economic war. French President Emmanuel Macron said the EU “should not hesitate” to use its “Anti-Coercion Instrument,” known unofficially as the Trade Bazooka. That mechanism, which has never been used before, would include widespread bans on American investments in Europe and restrictions on the import and export of American products. They could also take a more subdued approach and simply withdraw from the previously agreed-upon U.S./EU trade deal. Erika Kirk Files To Speed Up Trial Of Her Husband’s Alleged Killer Erika Kirk has filed a motion to speed up the trial of her late husband Charlie Kirk’s killer, accusing the defense team of delay tactics. Kirk’s attorneys are using Utah’s victims’ rights laws, which are designed to prevent unnecessary delays in serious criminal cases. They argue that the case has remained stuck in this pretrial phase while the defense files multiple motions, and that those delays are compounding the trauma for the victim’s family. The filing specifically noted Charlie Kirk’s love for the U.S. Constitution, saying that while the Constitution “guarantees criminal defendants many rights, it does not guarantee them the right to cause undue delay in the criminal justice process.” Meanwhile, the suspect, Tyler Robinson, has still not entered a plea. One Year Of Trump 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.” Trump has drastically reduced illegal immigration, effectively securing the southern border. Federal officers have surged into major cities to arrest illegal aliens. The United States experienced annual negative immigration for the first time in decades in large part because of Trump’s approach. On economic policy, the president cut numerous trade deals around the world while receiving pledges of investment worth trillions. It remains to be seen whether those pledges bear fruit. Trump has also ignited a series of trade wars, the latest being with Europe over his desire to acquire Greenland from Denmark. The aggressive posture could have consequences later as countries seek to diversify their trading partners. On foreign policy, the president has severely set back Iran’s nuclear program and toppled the Maduro dictatorship in Venezuela. He has also settled a number of open and near-conflicts, while the war in Ukraine continues to rage. Domestically, Trump has waded into prominent culture war topics such as DEI and transgenderism. He has pardoned several people prosecuted and imprisoned under his predecessor, including pro-life activists. He has battled universities to root out woke policies or risk losing federal funding.

'Do it in a heartbeat'

Seeing as Jim Weider grew up in Woodstock, New York, and knew most of The Band’s original members, when Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel first reformed The Band back up in the ‘80s, he made for a perfect replacement for guitarist Robbie Robertson, who wasn’t interested in a reunion. In Weider, The Band found a kindred spirit who understood its mission statement: creating and playing music for the people and places they grew up around. But it wasn’t easy, and Manuel committed suicide in 1986. Hard as that was to manage, The Band soldiered on, reeling off three The post An Interview With Jim Weider Of The Band appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.
