22.01.2026 โข The Board of Peace Launch Day
โจMorning editorial priority was dominated by Donald Trumpโs de-escalation of the Greenland crisis, as he traded tariff withdrawals for a 'framework deal' involving US military control. While tabloid editors focused on multi-billion dollar payouts to residents, broadsheets highlighted Danish skepticism regarding the dealโs legitimacy.
By midday, focus shifted to the Davos debut of Trumpโs 'Board of Peace.' Media outlets tracked a significant diplomatic fracture as Keir Starmer snubbed the ceremony over Vladimir Putinโs involvement, contrasting the UK's isolation with the attendance of figures like Tony Blair. Simultaneously, coverage began detailing Jared Kushnerโs 'New Gaza' master plan featuring luxury developments.
In the afternoon and evening, the narrative pivoted to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Editors highlighted his announcement of first-ever trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the US, while emphasizing his sharp criticism of European 'passivity.' This geopolitical dominance was only rivaled in volume by tabloid reports of Victoria Beckhamโs social media victory amid an escalating family feud.
