18.01.2026 โ‡ข The Greenland Tariff Ultimatum Day
โŒจMorning editorial focus solidified around the Pentagon placing 1,500 soldiers from the 11th Airborne Division on standby for deployment to Minneapolis. This followed the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good and subsequent urban resistance, which editors framed as a militarized standoff between federal authority and local socialist-led movements.
By midday, the primary narrative shifted to international economic warfare. President Trump formalized tariffs of 10% to 25% against eight European allies to leverage the acquisition of Greenland. Outlets tracked a rapid breakdown in NATO relations as the EU convened an emergency summit to coordinate a response.
In the evening, the domestic and international stories converged into a theme of executive unilateralism. While European leaders weighed a "trade bazooka" retaliation against the tariff wall, the Minneapolis mayor maintained a stance of defiance against the looming federal troop presence. Conservative media pivoted late in the day to highlight protesters allegedly storming a church, further polarizing the coverage of the Minnesota unrest.
