DC politicians want to enact harmful credit card mandates that could take away your cash back and rewards points.

Perks that stretch your budget and make life a little easier.

President Trump has fired off a series of true social posts, reiterating his plans for Greenland

and telling reporters that the U.S. is the only country that can ensure peace. The post followed days

of escalating tensions over the territory, with the subject set to take center stage as world leaders

gather in Davos, Switzerland. There, the president has agreed to meet with Mark Ruta, the Secretary

General of NATO, and other parties to discuss Greenland. European leaders are still weighing how to respond

would present a renewed test of whether the global economy and markets can handle more disruption.

U.S. stock futures and shares in Europe and Asia have dropped in response to the tariff threats

while gold and silver notched record highs. And in other news, a big change is coming to the New York Stock Exchange,

a platform for trading tokenized securities. The exchange said companies could use the platform to

issue securities that are represented as digital tokens on a blockchain, similar to how

cryptocurrencies work. It didn't specify the launch's timing, which depends on regulatory approval.

The new platform would offer 24-7 trading and would settle trades instantly.
