Former Danish PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt

Donald Trump flew to Davos this morning, where he dissed Europe, before he embraced it, called NATO deadbeat before saying he was 100% behind it, and doubled down on his push to take Greenland. But to a collective sigh of relief, the US president said he would not use force to get it. Finland's President Alexander Stubb was in the front row for Trump's speech.

Finnish President Reacts to Trump

Today marks one year since President Trump began his second term. In just one year, we've seen seismic shifts in America's foreign policy, such as his relentless bid for Greenland. Plus, he's now threatening an additional 200% tariffs on French wine if Macron refuses to join his Gaza Board of Peace. Democratic Senator Chris Coons wants to de-escalate tensions and has just finished a bipartisan congressional visit to Denmark. He joins the show from Davos.

Deescalating Tensions with US Allies

President Donald Trump is doubling down on his threats to annex Greenland and has said he will impose tariffs on European countries who do not support his ambitions.

International reporter Nic Robertson joins the show from Nuuk with the details. 

Also on today's show: Heather Conley, Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State; Sir Peter Westmacott, Former UK Ambassador to the US; Kimberlé Crenshaw, Professor of Law, UCLA & Columbia University / Executive Director, African American Policy Forum; former January 6th Capitol riot senior prosecutor

Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Shirin Ebadi

After days of urging the people of Iran to continue to protest, President Trump suddenly appeared to back down last night — noting to reporters that Iranian sources told him that the killing of protesters was over and planned executions will not go ahead. But even as the crackdown on protesters has proven deadly, with thousands reported killed, some are still staunch defenders of the regime. Christiane speaks to one of those voices — Mohammad Marandi is a Professor at the University of Tehran and joins the show from Tehran, Iran. 

Also on today's show: Nazenin Ansari, Journalist /Managing Editor of Kayhan London; Phil Gunson, Andes Project Senior Analyst, International Crisis Group; NYT columnist and author Andrew Ross Sorkin

Iran's Deadly Crackdown on Protests

What began in Iran as demonstrations against the dire state of the economy and the cost of living have escalated into a nationwide challenge to the Islamic Republic itself. Now, security forces are aggressively moving on the protesters, killing hundreds (according to a US-based rights group). Meanwhile, President Trump is mulling over military intervention. Abbas Milani, director of Iranian studies at Stanford and author of "The Shah," was held political prisoner by the former Shah's regime and eventually left Iran in 1986. He joins the show.

Iranian Protests Spur Government Backlash

The US and UK up the ante with strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. This, after the group’s militants – who run most of western Yemen and are backed by Iran – continue to attack commercial vessels in the Red Sea in support of the Palestinians. To help us make sense of this complicated geopolitical web, we turn to retired Colonel Peter Mansoor, who is a professor of military history at Ohio State University. 
Also on today's show: political analyst Dahlia Scheindlin; World Food Program Executive Director Cindy McCain; composer Karl Jenkins
