Hello from the Swiss Alps.
There are people who attend the World Economic Forum every year. They're all saying the same thing: this is unlike anything they've seen before.
Over 60 heads of state are in Davos, Switzerland, this week. Countless CEOs and business leaders.
And the international landscape has moved tremendously. Here are a couple of things we're tracking.
Ukraine
At Davos, there's what happens on the WEF main stage, and then there's what happens on the sidelines.
As we've been reporting, diplomatic efforts between the U.S., Russia and Ukraine have been happening throughout the week.
That culminated in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveling to Switzerland today to meet with President Trump. Subsequently, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are in Moscow tonight meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The goal was to have both of these meetings on the same day to see where each respective side is at the present moment.
Just announced today, the Russian, Ukrainian and American negotiating teams will meet in the UAE tomorrow and Saturday for trilateral talks. This is a highly significant development to have all three in the same place.
What's more, President Zelenskyy said today that Security Guarantees from the U.S. are basically ironed out. They would need to be signed by the U.S. Congress and the Ukrainian Parliament once the war is brought to a halt.
According to both the Ukrainians and Americans, there is one single issue that has not been resolved: Territory. What happens to the Donbas? Who controls it? How to navigate the constitutional element that exists in Ukraine, which does not give a license to cede territory?
"This is the issue which we have not solved yet," Zelenskyy said.
Tonight's meeting in Moscow and tomorrow's trilateral in Abu Dhabi will be key to watch.
Greenland
President Trump went to Switzerland, insisting he would come out with a deal on Greenland. Today, he is waving the victory flag and says a framework is in place that solves his security concerns in the Arctic.
"I'm not going to have to pay anything," the president said in an interview on Fox Business. "We're going to have total access to Greenland. We'll have all the military access that we want. We're going to be able to put what we need on Greenland because we want it. We're talking about national security and international security."
Specific details are scant, and there is more work to be done. There are set to be further conversations involving NATO, the U.S., Greenland and Denmark in the imminent future to iron this out.
As such, the president has taken the threat of tariffs off the table for European nations. That decision has caused relief on this side of the Atlantic.
Greenland's government welcomes the news but is still in the dark on exactly what this framework will look like.
"I don't know what there is in the agreement, or the deal, about my country," Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said.
Mette Frederiksen, the prime minister of Denmark, insists that as these talks carry on, Greenland will not be sold.
"It is still a difficult and serious situation, but progress has also been made in the sense that we have now got things where they need to be. Namely that we can discuss how we promote common security in the Arctic region," Frederiksen said.
However this ultimately ends, the Danish have called for a permanent NATO presence in Greenland. Drills are expected to be carried out by the alliance this year.
More to come on this, but there certainly doesn't seem to be an "invasion" of Greenland happening anytime soon.
