1. *Full Trump Truth Social post on NATO Article 5 for southern border*


Posted Jan 23, 2026 (@realDonaldTrump): “Maybebe we should have put NATO to the test: Invoked Article 5, and forced NATO to come here and protect our Southern Border from further Invasions of Illegal Immigrants, thus freeing up large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks.”


Full text as shared: Exact wording from the viral screenshot – framing migration as “invasions” warranting collective defense under Article 5 (mutual armed attack clause).


Context: Part of border hardline push – Trump argues it would test NATO loyalty (echoing spending gripes); viral X reactions mix outrage (”not an armed attack”) and support (”finally leverage”).

2. *Trump’s Article 5 “troll” on Europe – flipping the one-way alliance*


Europe always viewed Article 5 as US shield for them (post-9/11 invocation for Afghanistan) – Trump flips script, demanding allies defend US border from “illegal immigrant invasions.”


Provocation intent: Pokes at Europe’s “one-way” perception (US pays most, Europe benefits) – could force response or expose hypocrisy.


Funding demand speculation: Could escalate to $90B+ “loan” from EU/NATO allies for border security (walls, tech, patrols) – US funds Ukraine billions, why not reciprocal? Ties to NSS burden-sharing; if allies refuse, justifies further disengagement.


Migration contrast: Trump admin all-in on deportations/sealing (mass ops) – EU opposite (asylum policies, open debates) – he’s rubbing it in, highlighting Europe’s migrant crises while US hardens stance.


Riff material: Ultimate troll – Article 5 as mirror: “You want our troops for Russia? Send yours for cartels!” – risks NATO fracture if pushed, but likely rhetoric to shame on spending/migration.


3. *Trump launches Board of Peace at Davos – Gaza reconstruction vision*


White House/Reuters/NYT/Times of Israel (Jan 22-23, 2026): Trump signs charter for $1bn “Board of Peace” (chaired by him) – oversees Gaza ceasefire/reconstruction; Kushner presents “master plan” with skyscrapers, airport, seaport, $25bn rebuild, luxury developments (”Trump Riviera” vibe).


Members: 20+ countries, Rubio, Witkoff, Blair; Russia offers $1bn if assets unfrozen; aims beyond Gaza to global conflicts.


Kushner: Free-market focus, disarm Hamas, amnesty/reintegration; critics see as sidelining UN, land grab concerns (Kushner: “Rubble to riches”).

4. *Trump withdraws Canada’s invitation to Board of Peace – widening rift*


CNBC/BBC/Al Jazeera/NYT (Jan 23, 2026): Trump revokes invite to PM Mark Carney after Davos speech warning of “rupture” in US-led order/economic coercion; Trump posts letter: “Board withdrawing invitation... most prestigious ever.”


No explicit reason given, but follows Carney’s tariff critique; Carney had planned to join.


Broader: Spain also declines (Sanchez: outside UN framework, no Palestinian Authority); Canada spared $1bn commitment.

5. *Japanese bond market update – yields stabilize post-rout*


Trading Economics/Reuters (Jan 23, 2026): BOJ holds policy rate at 0.75% (as expected); 10-year JGB yield steady ~2.25-2.26% (slight uptick 0.01-0.03%); 30-year eased to ~3.66% (down 0.01%); 40-year ~4.00% (up tiny 0.002%).


Takaichi fallout: Snap election fears + tax cut pledges triggered earlier spike (40-year hit 4.225% record); BOJ hawkish tilt (up inflation forecasts, prepared hikes if needed) calms markets – Ueda signals bond ops if volatility spikes.


Yen: Weak ~159/USD (intervention watch) – fiscal concerns linger, but sell-off receded after Finance Minister Katayama “remain calm” call.
