- Donald Trump's erratic behavior, including threats to Greenland and captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, has shattered the US's reputation as a reliable global force, according to Peter Mortensen, a Danish family therapist and psychologist, who stated that "whatever he takes as a personal insult he can make into a geopolitical crisis."
- Canada is establishing a consulate in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, in a move seen as an attempt to build its own international influence and offer security guarantees, potentially filling the vacuum left by the US's unpredictable leadership, as noted by Politico columnists Mike Blanchfield and Calder McHugh.
- The timing of Canada's move coincides with Trump's latest round of menacing rhetoric and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's call for new alliances at Davos, highlighting the need for alternative global partnerships in the face of US unpredictability, with Mortensen warning that "our original belief that we can trust the United States... has been shattered really seriously."
