The morning of January 21 was dominated by escalating NATO fractures as Denmark reinforced Greenland and intelligence sharing with the U.S. remained frozen. Editors tracked reports of an American withdrawal from NATO structures, while President Stubb utilized the Davos forum to distance European security strategy from Washington. A total power blackout on the Danish island of Bornholm, linked to a damaged Baltic undersea cable, heightened the sense of immediate regional vulnerability. In the early afternoon, editorial focus converged on President Trumpâs arrival at Davos. Media outlets monitored his combative rhetoric, including claims that Switzerland only exists because of the U.S. and a metaphorical description of Greenland as a 'big ice cube' he intended to acquire through non-military pressure. By evening, a sudden pivot occurred as Trump announced the cancellation of planned tariffs against Finland and seven other nations following a meeting with Mark Rutte. Headlines characterized this as a temporary de-escalation tied to a preliminary 'excellent solution' for Greenlandâs status.
