Today, President Trump’s actions at Davos have caused a stir - but have they moved the dial on how other world leaders respond to the US President?

The President used his two days at the World Economic Forum at Davos to set out his worldview in a wide-ranging speech, agree what he called a 'framework of future deal' over Greenland and hold an inauguration for his ‘Board of Peace’. 

Adam and Chris are joined by Lyse Doucet, chief international correspondent, and Caitriona Perry, chief presenter for BBC News in Washington, to discuss how Donald Trump dominated Davos plus whether Canadian PM Mark Carney is fighting back.

The Week: Trump Dominates Davos, Carney's Resistance & That Greenland 'Deal'

Today, President Trump has wrapped up his second and final day at the World Economic Forum in Davos. 

The President held an inauguration for his new “Board of Peace” and met with Ukraine’s President Zelensky - which Zelensky said included agreeing post-war security guarantees for his country. BBC chief North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue and the Economist’s Shashank Joshi break it all down. 

And the former Labour Minister Andrew Gwynne confirmed his plans to retire on medical grounds triggering a by-election that could pave the way for Andy Burnham to run and ultimately launch a leadership challenge against Keir Starmer. Political correspondent Joe Pike joins Adam to explain why polticos have been speculating.

Trump accuses UK of "an act of GREAT STUPIDITY!"

President Trump has said he no longer feels “an obligation to think purely of peace” after not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His comments came via text message to the Prime Minister of Norway after he threatened eight European countries with new tariffs over their position on Greenland. The president said that while peace would "always be predominant" he "can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."

Adam and Chris are joined by Katya in Brussels and Caitríona in Washington to discuss how the Prime Minister and other European leaders might respond and where this latest development leaves NATO and the special relationship.
