<p>President Trump has reiterated his desire to take Greenland, this time refusing to rule out the possibility of using military or economic coercion to achieve his goals. It’s an idea he’s been pushing since 2019 when he first suggested purchasing the island from Denmark. However, the United States isn’t the only country with an eye on the region. In 2018, a Chinese state-owned company bid roughly $550 million to expand two airports in Greenland, but efforts from the Pentagon forced it to back out. Meanwhile, Russia has been reopening old Soviet military bases across the Arctic since 2015, including Nagurskoye, located just 600 miles off the northern coast of Greenland. So how did this island with a population of just 56,000 and an ice sheet covering about 80% of the territory gain such geopolitical significance? And why is President Trump so eager to acquire it?</p>

<p>Due to raging Santa Ana winds and dry conditions, the Los Angeles area has been hit with one of the worst fires in U.S. history. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, has more than 60 fixed-wing and rotor-wing firefighting aircraft, which it calls the largest civil fleet of its kind. Despite CalFire having the biggest fleet, private companies like Bridger Aerospace, 10 Tanker and Erickson Aero Tanker are contracted to bring in additional planes if needed. The aerial fleet working around the clock in L.A. included helicopters, tactical aircraft, super scoopers and tankers. These specially built aircraft vary in size and play different roles. Some of the tankers are retrofitted commercial planes that once flew passengers and have been converted to drop fire retardant and water from the air. CNBC explores how airplanes battle wildfires.</p>

<p>A little-known AI lab out of China has ignited panic throughout Silicon Valley after releasing AI models that can outperform America’s best despite being built more cheaply and with less-powerful chips. DeepSeek, as the lab is called, unveiled a free, open-source large-language model in late December that it says took only two months and less than $6 million to build.  The new developments have raised alarms on whether America’s global lead in artificial intelligence is shrinking and called into question big tech’s massive spend on building AI models and data centers. In a set of third-party benchmark tests, DeepSeek’s model outperformed Meta’s Llama 3.1, OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.5 in accuracy ranging from complex problem-solving to math and coding. CNBC’s Deirdre Bosa has the story. This video also includes Bosa’s full interview with Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas.</p>
