Democratic Senator Chris Coons wants to de-escalate tensions and has just finished a bipartisan congressional visit to Denmark. He joins the show from Davos.

President Donald Trump is doubling down on his threats to annex Greenland and has said he will impose tariffs on European countries who do not support his ambitions. Europe is weighing its options, including a so-called "Trade Bazooka," which would block some US access to EU markets and impose export controls. So what do Greenlanders think about all this? International reporter Nic Robertson joins the show from Nuuk with the details.

After days of urging the people of Iran to continue to protest, President Trump suddenly appeared to back down last night — noting to reporters that Iranian sources told him that the killing of protesters was over and planned executions will not go ahead. But even as the crackdown on protesters has proven deadly, with thousands reported killed, some are still staunch defenders of the regime. Christiane speaks to one of those voices — Mohammad Marandi is a Professor at the University of Tehran and joins the show from Tehran, Iran.
