Donald Trump traveled to Davos, Switzerland to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF), arriving behind schedule due to a delay with Air Force One. While in Davos, Trump's treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, dismissed Denmark as "irrelevant" regarding its investment in US Treasury bonds, downplaying concerns about potential European investor pullouts. Meanwhile, the Kremlin responded to Trump's claim about the US possessing a "secret sonic" weapon used in the capture of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, stating that Russia's special services are analyzing the information. The US Supreme Court is also set to consider Trump's attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board.
