🎙️ ‘Complex’ Greenland deal and tariffs talk: In a sit-down with CNBC’s Joe Kernen at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump defended his approach to the contentious Greenland situation, saying a “complex” framework deal was hammered out with NATO allies — and backing off earlier tariff threats against Europe. He highlighted the discussions with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, emphasizing renewed cooperation and a path forward on the Arctic issue.

📈 Bullish spin on markets: Trump also addressed recent market volatility, calling the pullback “peanuts” in the context of broader gains and predicting that the U.S. stock market could double, underscoring his confidence in continued economic expansion.

💼 Davos themes and trades: Beyond Greenland, the interview touched on broader geopolitical and economic topics dominating Davos — from housing affordability and defense production to his plans for a new Federal Reserve chair and corporate policy. These comments come as investors balance geopolitical risk with macroeconomic optimism at the start of 2026.

🎣 Sophisticated phishing call tried to nab a Coinbase account — Jason Gewirtz, vice president of news at CNBC, recounts how he was nearly tricked into giving up control of his Coinbase crypto account when he received a call from someone claiming to be Coinbase security support. The caller used authentic-sounding emails, personal data, and pressure tactics to persuade him to set up what they termed a “Coinbase hard wallet” to “protect” his account — a red flag crypto security experts say is common in today’s scams.

🇩🇪 Scammers used urgency and spoofed identity — The caller claimed Gewirtz’s account had been compromised from overseas and tried to rush him into making changes that would hand over access. Gewirtz paused, sought confirmation via AI tools and directly with Coinbase, and confirmed it was a phishing attempt — avoiding loss. Experts say these social-engineering tactics have become more convincing and frequent, exploiting personal information and technology like deepfakes or spoofed caller IDs to pressure victims.

🛡️ Crypto security advice becomes critical — Coinbase and recovery specialists like ZeroShadow warn that AI-powered impersonation schemes are rising sharply. They emphasize never moving funds or changing security settings at someone else’s request, verifying official communications through trusted channels, and using strong, unique authentication measures to protect assets.
