Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Wednesday, January 21st, 2026. And we begin with

President Trump getting an airfall over his grab and go plans for Greenland. He flew overnight to

Switzerland, where today he'll be meeting with world leaders unhappy with his push to make the

icy outpost part of the U.S. The planet's largest island sits northeast of Canada, is 80% covered by ice, and belongs

to the Kingdom of Denmark.

But President Trump recently set his sights on the territory, saying the U.S. needs to buy

it for national security purposes.

The Danes maintain that Greenland is not for sale,

and they have the support of most of Europe. The issue is expected to take center stage today

at the World Economic Summit, where 65 heads of state, including President Trump, will be in attendance.

The tundra tug of war is taking a toll on Wall Street. The Dow plunged nearly 900

points yesterday, while the NASDAQ was down almost 600. It's not often you can call a storm

beautiful, but when they start on the sun, all bets are off. On Monday, a super-powerful solar flare near the Sun's equator erupted into space, sending

charged particles on a collision course with Earth's magnetic field.

On the severity scale, it ranked a four out of five, high enough to mess with satellites

and GPS as well as increase the radiation risk for space station astronauts

and air passengers flying near the poles. For those of us on the ground, however, there's not only

no danger, but there's also the possibility of spectacular northern light shows, like the ones spotted

yesterday across much of Europe and in the U.S. as far south as Alabama.

Forecasters say, depending on how long the storm lasts, we could be in for another day or two

of dazzling displays.

Indiana's Cinderella story is now complete.
