JPMorgan rejects a political basis, citing regulatory risks, and vows to defend in court. What else?

He emphasized close monitoring while keeping diplomacy on the table to avert escalation. What else?

I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force," marking a shift from earlier threats of invasion and tariffs on NATO allies. Trump urged immediate negotiations, highlighting U.S. control's benefits for NATO security and Arctic dominance after discussions with NATO chief Mark Rutte on a "framework for a future deal" involving minerals and cooperation.

Trump has given an ultimatum over Greenland in Davos!

He argued no other nation could safeguard the expansive, mineral-rich island, rebuking Denmark's post-WWII reclamation.

Trump has announced a Gaza “Board of Peace”!!

President Donald Trump signed the charter for the Board of Peace at a Davos ceremony.

Backed by Israel, UAE, Hungary, and Pakistan, it features diverse figures despite ally splits and Hamas disarmament challenges. Trump touted it as a groundbreaking step toward Middle East peace, with the board's role extending to broader global conflict resolution, though some fear it rivals UN authority.

Speaking of roles, did you hear? Generative AI will be a major requirement in all future roles!?

Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, the world has been incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in almost every aspect. Today, AI is helping with legal work, medical prescriptions, lunch recommendations, and so much more. Every new smartphone model is being incorporated with an AI model that makes life much easier for us.

Generative AI is making work more efficient in the workforce while improving accuracy. But how?
