"This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss whether Trump's lust for Greenland will break the world (or indeed, whether it already has), what this week's arguments at the Supreme Court suggest about the future of Fed independence, and how FBI sources say the Bureau is being turned into a weapon of the president."
"Here are some notes and references from this week's show: Emily Davies, Cat Zakrzewski, and Michael Birnbaum for The Washington Post: Trump rules out force on Greenland, assails allies at Davos Konrad Putzier, Chao Deng, and Sam Goldfarb for The Wall Street Journal: What a Break With Europe Means for the American Economy Anders Fogh Rasmussen for The Economist (By Invitation): On Greenland, Europe must tell Donald Trump that enough is enough"
American efforts to pursue Greenland have strained relations with European allies and raised questions about unilateralism and international trust. Breaks with European partners could carry economic consequences for the United States. European leaders urge pushback against destabilizing U.S. actions. Supreme Court arguments involving presidential authority over Federal Reserve officials could shape Fed independence and the future of central bank leadership. Reports from inside the FBI allege increasing politicization and the conversion of the Bureau into a tool of presidential power. Public opinion shows skepticism about a second term's benefits and prioritizes economic concerns such as inflation.
