In this edition of Davos Brainstorm, watch as geopolitical expert Fareed Zakaria decodes the shifting global order under Donald Trump’s presidency and how India should deal with him and more.

In this Special Report, Gaurav Sawant examines the imminent conclusion of the India-European Union Free Trade Agreement, a pact set to create a market of nearly two billion people and represent a quarter of global GDP. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed at Davos that she will co-chair the India-EU summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with an official announcement expected on January 27. Experts including Ambassador Ashok Sajjanhar discuss India's market diversification strategy amid rising US tariffs and geopolitical friction. The program also analyzes United States President Donald Trump’s strategic interest in Greenland and the resulting diplomatic tensions with Denmark. Insights from Professor Andrew Latham and Nela Jaksic address the use of economic leverage and military presence in the region. Additionally, the report covers Indian business leaders meeting President Trump at Davos and the appointment of Nitin Nabin as the youngest-ever President of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the presence of Prime Minister Modi.

On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating transatlantic tension as US President Donald Trump asserts his intention to take control of Greenland. Trump emphasized the strategic necessity of the territory, stating, 'We need Greenland for national security and if you take a look at Greenland, you look up and down the coast, you have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place.' The report highlights Trump's use of an AI-generated map showing Greenland, Canada, and Venezuela as part of the US, a move that has drawn sharp rebukes from European leaders. EU Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen has called for an upgraded Arctic strategy and expressed full solidarity with Denmark, maintaining that Greenland's sovereignty is non-negotiable. The programme also covers Trump's threats of 200% tariffs on French wines following President Emmanuel Macron's refusal to join the Gaza Board of Peace. As Denmark deploys soldiers to the region, the diplomatic standoff is set to intensify at the upcoming Davos summit.

On this Special Report, the focus is on the imminent conclusion of a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the European Union. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, stated, 'There's still work to do, but we are on the cusp of a historic trade agreement. Indeed, some call it the mother of all deals.' The proposed pact aims to create a market of nearly 2 billion people, accounting for a quarter of global GDP. Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa are set to visit India as chief guests for Republic Day on 26th January. The deal is expected to be concluded during the India-EU summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 27th January. Experts suggest the agreement provides a crucial alternative market amidst rising global trade tensions and US tariffs, while respecting India's sensitivities in sectors like dairy and agriculture.
