Balance of Power

Along the illustrious Davos Promenade, the US administration has taken over a 19th century church that’s been reconsecrated for the week as a shrine to business and politics. On the eve of President Donald Trump’s arrival, a banner hangs behind USA House spelling out, “House of God.” 

It’s as good a visual cue as any for the power plays ahead as Trump descends on the Swiss Alps for the first time since 2020 in the final year of what was, with the benefit of hindsight, a more restrained first term. That goes for European leaders as well as the gullible billionaires duped into buying fake tickets for access to Trump’s entourage.

Iran may have averted US strikes for now by pledging not to execute protesters after pressure from President Donald Trump.

Trump told reporters Wednesday he had been informed the “killing in Iran is stopping,” adding he would be “very upset” if the crackdown continued. That was a marked shift from earlier in the week, when he urged Iranians to keep demonstrating and vowed that “help is on the way.”

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado met President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday as part of her push for greater influence in the wake of Nicolas Maduro’s ouster at the hands of American troops.

Trump Toughens Greenland Rhetoric

President Donald Trump has relied on social media posts and Washington interviews in recent weeks to flesh out a more populist economic message that he hopes will help Republicans keep control of Congress. 

On Tuesday he’ll make those arguments in a key battleground state. 
As voters express mounting frustration over the president’s economic agenda and the cost of living, Trump will visit a factory making Ford Motor Co. F-150 trucks and promote his tariff and manufacturing policies at an event sponsored by the Detroit Economic Club.

President Donald Trump faced rare opposition from key Republican lawmakers after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell accused the Department of Justice of launching a grand jury investigation to pressure and intimidate the central bank.

Powell Probe Sparks GOP Backlash

Analysis that Justice Department subpoenas on the Federal Reserve -- similar to President Donald Trump's bid to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook -- is unlikely to succeed led Bloomberg Intelligence's Jan. 12 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. BI Senior Litigation Analyst Elliott Stein discussed how a criminal conviction, and perhaps even an indictment, is unlikely. We also showed how we think Trump's desire for a 10% cap on credit card interest is unlikely to succeed, but pressure will remain on companies like Capital One, Synchrony, Mastercard and Visa. Finally, we previewed planned crypto Senate markups.

Moderate Republicans are nearing a deal to extend enhanced Obamacare tax credits that they say could pass the House and Senate.

House GOP Votes Test Trump’s Sway

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

President Donald Trump said he would move to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, part of a push to address housing affordability ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

“People live in homes, not corporations,” Trump said in a social media post Wednesday announcing the effort, adding that he would expound on the plan at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month.

The news sent shares of homebuilders, including Toll Brothers Inc., Invitation Homes Inc., KB Home and PulteGroup Inc., down. Shares of Blackstone Inc. — a major investor in single-family homes in the US —fell by as much as 9.3%, though later pared some of those losses.
