January 21st, 2026: The Strategic Case Behind Trump’s Greenland Push & Xi Purges His Own

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• First up—What was supposed to be a global economic summit in Davos is overtaken by geopolitics, as President Trump ramps up pressure on U.S. allies and argues Greenland is a critical national security priority.

  
  

• Later in the show—A staggering figure out of China, where Communist Party enforcers punished nearly one million people in 2025 as President Xi tightens his grip and demands total loyalty.

  
  

• Plus—Beijing escalates pressure across the Taiwan Strait, flying a military drone into Taiwan’s airspace for the first time.

  
  

• And in today’s Back of the Brief—The British government approves plans for China’s largest embassy in Europe, ignoring warnings it could become a hub for espionage.
