Morning coverage was split between a catastrophic high-speed train derailment in southern Spain, with the death toll rising from 21 to 39, and Donald Trump’s intensifying rhetoric regarding Greenland. Editors prioritized Trump’s 'it will be done' ultimatum to Denmark and the EU, noting a shift from trade grievances to an explicit link between the territory and his lack of a Nobel Peace Prize. By midday, editorial focus moved toward the legal and strategic deadlock. Outlets analyzed the U.S. Supreme Court's potential to block the annexation and reported on the perceived loss of German international credibility following the Bundeswehr’s withdrawal from the island. Concurrently, a spectacular jewelry heist in Duisburg involving a car ramming a shopping mall dominated domestic crime reporting. In the evening, the narrative centered on the World Economic Forum in Davos as a trade war battleground. Editors highlighted threats to the German automotive and chemical sectors, reporting on EU plans for counter-tariffs and a potential World Cup boycott in response to Trump’s ransom-like demands for Greenland.
