[00:06] Hannah Whitmore: Today, President Trump unveils a new Board of Peace in Davos, [00:12] Hannah Whitmore: as Ukraine signals trilateral talks with Russia and the U.S. could begin within days. [00:19] Isabel Moreno: The Board of Peace is now signed into existence, but the mission is still hazy, [00:25] Isabel Moreno: and the guest list is already shifting. [00:29] Isabel Moreno: CBS News reports the charter signing happened in Davos without several major U.S. allies [00:36] Isabel Moreno: in the room. [00:38] Isabel Moreno: Mr. Trump says the body will work with the United Nations to support peace in the Middle [00:44] Isabel Moreno: East, and he ties it to a Gaza reconstruction plan announced last year. [00:50] Hannah Whitmore: And then, tonight, a notable update lands fast. [00:55] Hannah Whitmore: Mr. Trump posts that the board is withdrawing Canada's invitation after Canada says it accepted a seat. [01:04] Hannah Whitmore: There is still no clear public explanation, and both sides are facing questions about what membership even means. [01:13] Hannah Whitmore: In Davos, Canada's Prime Minister warns of a rupture in world order, as U.S. pressure campaigns reshape alliances. [01:23] Isabel Moreno: The most immediate diplomatic movement, in change, is around Ukraine. [01:30] Isabel Moreno: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that representatives of the technical [01:36] Isabel Moreno: of Ukraine, Russia, and the United States can reunite in the United States [01:44] Isabel Moreno: as soon as Friday or Saturday. [01:47] Isabel Moreno: Zelenskyy also says draft documents to end the war are nearly ready, [01:53] Isabel Moreno: but the final stretch is difficult. [01:56] Isabel Moreno: He points to one core dispute, land in eastern Ukraine held by Russian forces. [02:03] Hannah Whitmore: Now to the economic picture. [02:06] Hannah Whitmore: Markets rally as geopolitical fears cool and tariff plans shift from threat to pause. [02:14] Hannah Whitmore: The Dow closes up about six-tenths of a percent. [02:18] Hannah Whitmore: The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ also finish higher. [02:23] Hannah Whitmore: CNBC reports the gains are driven in part by big tech leaders, including NVIDIA, Microsoft and Meta. [02:33] Isabel Moreno: Inversores están reactionando a lighthouse stepping back from new tariffs on imports from eight European nations. [02:42] Isabel Moreno: Those were set to start February 1st. [02:45] Isabel Moreno: The reversal follows a rocky earlier week, when tariff threats fueled a breadth-sell-America [02:53] Isabel Moreno: mood across markets. [02:55] Isabel Moreno: And the Greenlandia dispute is also shifting into an negotiation phase. [03:01] Isabel Moreno: Mr. Trump describes a framework deal with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rute. [03:08] Isabel Moreno: He says the U.S. would not take Greenland by force. [03:13] Hannah Whitmore: Denmark's prime minister calls Arctic security talks good and natural, [03:19] Hannah Whitmore: but draws a bright line on sovereignty. [03:22] Hannah Whitmore: That signals the next phase may focus on security posture in the Arctic, [03:27] Hannah Whitmore: not ownership on a map. [03:30] Isabel Moreno: Here is what else we're watching. [03:32] Isabel Moreno: If trilateral talks convene in the Emirates, the next test will be whether any ceasefire language addresses security guarantees for Ukraine, along with the territorial question.
