Consider This from NPR - Trump is escalating European tensions. What are the consequences?

President Trump’s insistence that the U.S. acquire Greenland could become a major international crisis.

He's now threatened tariffs on eight NATO allies who have expressed their opposition to the idea, and that is shaking up the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week. 



And more tariffs would increase costs for American businesses at a time when American voters are talking about affordability at home.

Willem Marx reports from Davos, and NPR’s Scott Horsley and Mara Liasson recap the economic and political fallout.

Native America Calling - Wednesday, January 21, 2026 – Native activists prepare for ongoing resistance and documentation as federal crackdowns expand

In Los Angeles, Chicago, and now Minneapolis, activists, community leaders, and concerned neighbors have organized loose-knit networks of support for what they believe will be a protracted resistance effort against the crackdowns by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. The Powwow Grounds Coffeehouse in Minneapolis is among the locations collecting food, cash, and other support for those filling the streets with whistles, drums, and their own voices. Doing so carries risk. ICE agents shot and killed one person. Many more are injured. At least one Minneapolis restaurant fended off ICE agents who attempted to enter. We’ll hear from Native organizers in cities around the country about what they expect in the weeks and months ahead.

GUESTS

Robert Rice (White Earth Nation), owner of Pow Wow Grounds

Courtney Cochran (Anishinaabe), artist, filmmaker, and community organizer

Jennifer Marley (San Ildefonso), community organizer and a member of the Total Sovereignty Working Group

Eva Cardenas (Mexica Chicana of Mazahua and Zapotec descent), director of organizing for the NDN Collective, the LANDBACK action network

Joel Garcia (Huichol), artist, cultural organizer, and director of Meztli Projects
