Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is insisting that Denmark will not negotiate on its sovereignty of Greenland despite President Donald Trump announcing a ‘framework’ of a deal for the U.S. to purchase the Arctic territory has been reached.

In a statement, she indicated that the nation is open to discussions with allies as long as the engagement respects Denmark’s ‘territorial integrity.’

‘Security in the Arctic is a matter for the entire NATO alliance. Therefore, it is good and natural that it is also discussed between NATO’s Secretary General and the President of the United States. The Kingdom of Denmark has long worked for NATO to increase its engagement in the Arctic,’ Frederiksen noted in the statement, which was written in Danish.

‘We have been in close dialogue with NATO and I have spoken to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on an ongoing basis, including both before and after his meeting with President Trump in Davos. NATO is fully aware of the position of the Kingdom of Denmark. We can negotiate on everything political; security, investments, economy. But we cannot negotiate on our sovereignty,’ she asserted. 

The Danish prime minister noted that ‘only Denmark and Greenland themselves can make decisions on issues concerning Denmark and Greenland. The Kingdom of Denmark wishes to continue to engage in a constructive dialogue with allies on how we can strengthen security in the Arctic, including the US’s Golden Dome, provided that this is done with respect for our territorial integrity.’

Her comments come after Trump announced on Truth Social that, ‘Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.’

‘This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations,’ Trump wrote in the post. ‘Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland.’

During a speech at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Switzerland on Thursday, Trump seemed to indicate that he would not use force to seize Greenland.

While discussing NATO, he said, ‘We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be frankly unstoppable. But, I won’t do that.’

‘I won’t use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland,’ Trump said.

These are the two things ‘at stake’ in Trump’s Greenland ‘framework’: NATO secretary

In a post on X, Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said, ‘We welcome that POTUS has ruled out to take Greenland by force and paused the trade war. Now, let’s sit down and find out how we can address the American security concerns in the Arctic while respecting the red lines of the KoD.’

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Trump administration have been at each other’s throats on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, during which Newsom was mocked for cozying up to ‘billionaire sugar daddy’ Alex Soros after the California governor accused world leaders of kowtowing to President Donald Trump. 

Newsom attended the conference this week and slammed foreign world leaders for ‘rolling over’ when confronted by President Donald Trump, but Newsom was criticized himself this week for cozying up to Alexander Soros, the son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, while in Davos. 

‘Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He’s here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros, and Davos is the perfect place for a man who, when everyone else was on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church, he was having $1,000 a night meals at the French Laundry,’ Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a press conference Wednesday at the USA House in Davos. ‘And I’m sure the California people won’t forget that.’

Bessent’s comments came after Newsom lamented to a reporter earlier in the week that ‘people are rolling over’ to Trump, adding he ‘should have brought a bunch of kneepads for all the world leaders’ at the conference. 

But, a subsequent photo posted online by the younger Soros with Newsom at the sidelines of the World Economic Forum this week, praising the California governor’s rebuke of those bending a knee to the Trump administration in Davos, went viral among critics who, like Bessent, accused Newsom of cozying up to Soros.

‘Great catching up with the real star of the 2026 World Economic Forum, my friend Gavin Newsom,’ the young Soros captioned his photo with the California governor. ‘So glad he’s here calling out world leaders for believing appeasement works when it comes to Trump. It doesn’t. It only emboldens him to become more chaotic and destructive. World leaders could take a page out of Newsom’s book. It’s time to stand tall, stand firm, and stand united — before it’s too late.’

In response, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, posted an AI-generated version of the same photo Soros posted to his social media, but juxtaposed Newsom into a NASCAR uniform with sponsorship logos reading ‘Soros’ and ‘CCP’ strewn across it.

‘Fixed it for you,’ the Texas senator captioned his photo. 

‘Gavin Newscum auditioning to be Alex Soros’ next sugar baby is a waste of time – all the money in the world could not make Newscum’s pitiful presidential dreams come true,’ White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said. 

‘Someone confiscate Alex Soros’ Instagram account,’ Tim Miller, ‘Bulwark Podcast’ host and MSNBC analyst wrote in response to Newsom and Soros showing off their friendship in Davos.

‘Tells you all you need to know about Gavin Newsom’s true allegiance’ said London Center for Policy Research President and former Army intel official Lt. Col. (retired) Tony Shaffer. ‘Indeed – Newsom is the Soviet star in the Marxist globalists vision to return the world to Futile Mercantilism.’

‘Hey, you found a billionaire I want to tax,’ quipped California Post opinion editor Joel Pollak, while advisor to Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Nathan Brand, noted how Newsom ‘already looks like a Bond villain, and posing with Soros at the World Economic Forum in Davos doesn’t help.’

On Wednesday, Newsom accused the Trump administration of blocking him from speaking at the USA House in Davos. 

When reached for comment, the White House neither confirmed nor denied the allegations. ‘No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California,’ White House spokesperson Anna Kelly added when asked about the claims from Newsom.    

Soros, who has donated roughly $70,000 to Newsom’s political ambitions, has a history of posting and praising Newsom on social media.

‘Great to see the inspiring Gavin Newsom, a force who’s unafraid to push back against this Administration’s threats to our democracy and constitutional rights,’ Soros wrote in September on social media along with a photo of himself and Newsom at an event for the Clinton Global Initiative. The pair also met there and took a photo together in 2023.

 

‘Great to see CA Governor Gavin Newsom in New York for the #ClimateSummit,’ Soros says in another post from 2019 including a photo with Newsom. ‘He is doing a phenomenal job reducing carbon emissions in California!’

Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom’s office, but did not receive a response.

Brossard, Quebec, le 22 janvier 2026 TheNewswire – CORPORATION Charbone (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) (« Charbone » ou la « Société »), un producteur et distributeur nord-américain spécialisé dans l’hydrogène propre Ultra Haute Pureté (« UHP ») et les gaz industriels stratégiques, est heureuse d’annoncer la vente d’hydrogène propre UHP en Ontario à un sous-traitant spécialisé desservant l’industrie du cinéma et de la production télévisuelle, afin de permettre l’exploitation de génératrices à hydrogène fonctionnant avec des piles à combustible sur les sites de tournage.

Hydrogène pour une production d’électricité propre sur les plateaux en Ontario

Charbone confirme avoir amorcé la fourniture d’hydrogène propre UHP en Ontario afin de soutenir le déploiement de systèmes de génératrices alimentées par piles à combustible, utilisés pour fournir de l’électricité aux plateaux de tournage ainsi qu’aux infrastructures mobiles associées.

Cette initiative représente une application commerciale concrète et hautement visible de l’hydrogène, démontrant une voie tangible vers la réduction des émissions, la diminution du bruit, ainsi que l’optimisation des opérations et de la logistique généralement associées aux génératrices traditionnelles fonctionnant au diesel dans l’industrie cinématographique.

La fourniture d’hydrogène sera supportée par les capacités de distribution et de livraison de Charbone, assurant un service sécuritaire et fiable afin de répondre aux besoins opérationnels des équipes de production, dont les échéanciers sont souvent très serrés.

Une étape stratégique vers l’adoption concrète de l’hydrogène

Cette première vente en Ontario dans le segment de l’alimentation électrique liée au cinéma reflète la stratégie plus large de Charbone visant à accélérer la commercialisation de l’hydrogène au-delà des usages industriels traditionnels, et vers des applications réelles d’énergie mobile et temporaire, où les piles à combustible offrent des avantages importants en termes de performance, de durabilité et de conditions d’exploitation.

Commentaire du chef de la direction

« L’hydrogène n’est plus seulement un concept : il devient une solution opérationnelle, » a déclaré Dave B. Gagnon, PDG de Charbone. « Nous sommes fiers de soutenir un sous-traitant spécialisé en Ontario qui permet l’exploitation de génératrices à piles à combustible pour l’industrie du cinéma. Il s’agit d’un excellent exemple de la valeur réelle que peut offrir dès aujourd’hui l’hydrogène propre UHP : une énergie silencieuse, fiable et à faibles émissions, exactement là où c’est nécessaire. »

Charbone ne divulgue pas le volume, la durée ou les modalités financières de cette entente commerciale afin de préserver sa position concurrentielle. Les revenus générés par les activités de production, de distribution et de services de la Société sont présentés sur une base consolidée dans ses états financiers trimestriels.

À propos de CORPORATION Charbone

Charbone est un développeur et producteur d’hydrogène propre Ultra Haute Pureté (UHP) doté d’une plateforme de distribution de gaz industriels en pleine expansion. Grâce à une approche modulaire, Charbone se concentre sur le développement d’un réseau d’usines de production d’hydrogène propre en Amérique du Nord et sur certains marchés à l’étranger, en commençant par son projet phare de Sorel-Tracy au Québec. Le modèle intégré de l’entreprise réduit les risques, améliore l’évolutivité et permet de diversifier ses sources de revenus grâce à des partenariats dans le domaine de l’hélium et d’autres gaz de spécialités. Charbone s’engage à soutenir la transition mondiale vers une économie bas carbone en fournissant des solutions d’hydrogène propre et de gaz de spécialités accessibles et décentralisées, tout en soutenant les clients industriels mal desservis en gaz et en accélérant la transition vers une énergie propre locale. Charbone est coté sur la bourse de croissance TSX (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF); sur les marchés OTC (OTCQB: CHHYF); et à la Bourse de Francfort (FSE: K47).

Link to Big One 2026 Video

The Big One property is situated in a region that is well known for hosting globally recognized precious metal and porphyry deposits, several of which occur near the property including the multiple porphyry systems at Galore Creek, the world’s largest known gold reserve at KSM and the polymetallic copper project at Shaft Creek, as well as the Brucejack high-grade epithermal gold deposit, and the structurally controlled high-grade hydrothermal gold-silver zones at Trophy and Sphal Creek. The property geology is favorable to host these types of deposits, as confirmed by the presence of extensive areas of propylitic alteration, untested geophysical anomalies, strong silt, soil, and rock geochemistry, including pathfinder elements directly related to porphyry systems, key structures and textures, porphyry-style mineralization, and high-grade polymetallic veins, that have been discovered on the Big One property.

The Big One property can be accessed year-round via helicopter from the Glenora/Telegraph Creek Road at the Barrington Mine (33 km to the north-northeast) as well as the Galore Creek Road (15 km to the southeast). The Canadian government committed $25 M to extend/improve the Galore Creek Road to within 15 km of the Big One property. The property is 2 km west of the Scud River airstrip used in the early days of Galore Creek.

The Big One property exploration qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC).

Rio Silver Inc. (‘Rio Silver’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: RYO | OTC: RYOOF) is pleased to announce that it has submitted an application to trade on the U.S. OTCID market, a strategic step designed to broaden investor access and enhance visibility within the world’s largest capital market.

In parallel, the Company confirms it will be attending the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) 2026, taking place January 25–26, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Rio Silver welcomes current and prospective investors to visit the Company at Booth 829.

Opening Access to the World’s Largest Capital Market

The Company’s application to trade on the U.S. OTCID market is intended to make Rio Silver’s shares more easily accessible to U.S. investors through a transparent U.S. trading venue, improving trading efficiency and expanding exposure to a broader institutional and retail audience. Upon approval, Rio Silver expects enhanced visibility among U.S.-based investors seeking direct exposure to silver-dominant exploration and development stories.

This initiative aligns with the Company’s ongoing efforts to strengthen market awareness and investor engagement as it advances its silver assets in Peru through permitting, access, and execution-focused milestones, while establishing a U.S. market presence that supports broader participation in the Company’s growth.

Management Commentary

‘Opening access to the U.S. capital markets is a meaningful step in the evolution of Rio Silver,’ said Chris Verrico, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rio Silver. ‘The United States represents the largest and deepest pool of capital globally, and this application is about making it easier for investors to participate in our story as we progress. With visible silver mineralization, a clear regulatory pathway, and a disciplined, capital-efficient strategy, we believe increased accessibility and engagement will be an important catalyst as we move into the next phase of growth. We look forward to welcoming global investors to meet our team and learn more about Rio Silver at VRIC 2026 at Booth 829.’

Investor Engagement at VRIC 2026

VRIC is one of North America’s leading resource investment conferences, bringing together mining companies, institutional investors, retail investors, analysts, and industry leaders. Management will be available throughout the conference to discuss Rio Silver’s project portfolio, execution strategy, and upcoming milestones.

Conference Details:

  • Event: Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) 2026
  • Dates: January 25–26, 2026
  • Time: 8:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
  • Location: Vancouver Convention Centre
  • Booth: 829

Why This Matters to Investors

For investors, access matters. Expanding into the U.S. OTC market lowers friction for U.S.-based capital, increases liquidity potential, and broadens the audience able to participate in Rio Silver’s growth. Combined with active investor engagement at VRIC, this initiative strengthens market visibility at a time when the Company is advancing tangible, execution-driven milestones. As Rio Silver continues to progress its silver-dominant assets with a capital-efficient strategy, improved accessibility to the world’s largest capital market positions the Company to attract a wider investor base and more accurately reflect project momentum.

About Rio Silver Inc.

After yesterday’s sell-off, BTC’s price rose after US President Donald Trump’s speech at Davos, where he said he expects to sign the crypto market structure bill “very soon.”

During his address, Trump also said he supported the GENIUS Act, which he signed into July 2025 because it was “politically popular,” adding, “much more importantly, we have to make it so that China doesn’t get hold of it…once they have that hold, we’re not going to be able to get it back.”

BTC experienced a volatile trading day, coming close to US$90,300 before dropping to US$87,304, followed by another rise towards US$90K.

In an email, Samer Hasn, a senior market analyst at XS.com, maintains that the current BTC market correction is being driven by a combination of escalating geopolitical risks, including President Trump’s ultimatum regarding the annexation of Greenland and Middle East tensions, as well as tightening global liquidity, highlighted by record-high Japanese government bond yields.

‘The institutional appetite for digital assets is also showing signs of fatigue, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs reversing course to post nearly US$500 million in outflows over just two sessions,’ he wrote.

‘This erratic on-off flow suggests that the record inflows seen last week were driven by speculative hot money rather than the solid, long-term accumulation required to sustain a bull market.’

Ether (ETH) was priced at US$3,026.90, up by 0.9 percent over the last 24 hours.

Altcoin price update

  • XRP (XRP) was priced at US$1.97, up by 3.3 percent over 24 hours.
  • Solana (SOL) was trading at US$130.88, up by 2.5 percent over 24 hours.

Galaxy to launch US$100 million crypto hedge fund

Cryptocurrency group Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ:GLXY) is reportedly planning to launch a US$100 million hedge fund, according to a report today from the Financial Times, which cited people familiar with the matter and internal sources close to the firm.

The fund is set to launch in Q1 of this year, with up to 30 percent of its assets invested in crypto tokens and the rest in financial services stocks impacted by changes in digital asset technologies and laws.

Crypto czar says banks and crypto companies will merge

During an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box, White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks, joined by Michael Kratsios, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy director, said that banks and crypto companies will eventually merge into one digital asset industry once the market structure bill passes through Congress.

‘After the bill passes, the banks are going to get fully into the crypto industry. So we’re not going to have a separate banking industry and crypto, it’s going to be one digital asset industry. Over time, the banks like the idea of paying yield because they’re going to be in the stablecoin business,’ he said from Davos.

Bitget: Macro reset reframes Bitcoin’s role as risk appetite cools

Crypto markets are entering 2026 under a markedly different macro backdrop, as geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and shifting rate expectations force investors to reassess risk.

According to Bitget CMO Ignacio Aguirre, capital is rotating back toward traditional safe havens, with gold reclaiming its defensive role while Bitcoin trades more like a risk asset amid tighter liquidity.

The roughly US$1.3 trillion erased from US equities underscores a broader repricing rather than a market anomaly, reflecting how policy uncertainty typically drives investors to pull back first before selectively re-entering.

Aguirre notes that similar patterns played out during the 2008 financial crisis and the 2022 crypto downturn, where sharp contractions ultimately set the stage for renewed growth.

In the near term, Bitcoin could face additional pressure and test lower support levels before finding stability.

Longer term, however, structural factors such as improving infrastructure and institutional participation continue to support a bullish thesis. The adjustment, Aguirre argues, is part of crypto’s maturation rather than a rejection of its long-term value.

DeFi groups push Back on FTC’s approach to non-custodial systems

Major crypto policy groups are urging the US Federal Trade Commission to rethink how it applies consumer protection rules to decentralized finance.

In a joint letter, industry organizations including the Crypto Council for Innovation and the Blockchain Association warned that enforcement models designed for custodial finance do not translate cleanly to non-custodial systems.

They argue that imposing centralized safeguards such as kill switches or circuit breakers could weaken, rather than enhance, security by undermining decentralization.

The groups further emphasized that developers who do not control user funds should not be treated as financial intermediaries. Overly prescriptive standards, they said, risk stifling innovation and driving responsible development outside the United States.

The appeal comes as Congress debates broader crypto legislation, raising concerns that regulatory overlap could create confusion.

Trump signals imminent signing of Crypto market structure bill

President Donald Trump said he expects to sign a long-awaited crypto market structure bill “very soon,” injecting fresh momentum into legislation that has faced recent turbulence in Congress.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump framed the bill as a step toward expanding financial access, explicitly referencing Bitcoin and digital assets more broadly.

His remarks followed a contentious week on Capitol Hill after a planned Senate Banking Committee vote was abruptly pulled. That setback was triggered when Coinbase withdrew its support over concerns about provisions affecting stablecoin yield products.

White House officials have since signaled impatience with industry infighting that could derail passage.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., accused President Donald Trump of working to push the U.S. and the rest of the globe in the direction of ‘authoritarianism.’

‘Trump’s hostility toward Europe has little to do with his absurd and irrational arguments over Greenland. It has everything to do with his efforts to undermine democracy and move this country and the world toward authoritarianism. Trump does not like free elections, a free media or the right of people to dissent,’ Sanders claimed in a statement posted on X.

‘That is why he hates Europe, with its strong democratic governance, social safety net, and commitment to peacefully resolving disputes. That is why he is sending ICE to invade American cities,’ the left-wing lawmaker continued.

Sanders claimed the president would prefer a world controlled by wealthy ‘oligarchs.’

‘Let’s be clear. Trump would prefer the world to be ruled by his fellow multi-billionaire oligarchs, like his good friends in Saudi Arabia and Russia. These dictators crush political dissent, jail their opponents, and engage in massive kleptocracy,’ he asserted.
