Former President Donald Trump is facing criticism from Danish veterans and sparking concerns about his potential involvement in a proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. Meanwhile, The Washington Post's CEO resigned amid controversy, and authorities continue to investigate the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. These events unfolded on February 7, 2026, and the days leading up to it.
Danish veterans are calling for an apology from Trump regarding his past comments about NATO allies and his attempts to acquire Greenland. According to NPR Politics, the veterans expressed anger and a sense of betrayal over Trump's remarks. In an interview at Davos last month, Trump appeared to denigrate NATO allies.
In other news, The Washington Post's CEO, Will Lewis, resigned on Saturday evening after just two years at the paper, a tenure marked by controversy and crisis. This occurred just days after massive layoffs at the newspaper, as reported by NPR News. Lewis was photographed at the NFL Honors in San Francisco on the same day that Washington Post journalist Sarah Kaplan protested outside the newspaper's headquarters.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos addressed the proposed Netflix-Warner Bros. merger and President Trump's possible role in the deal. When asked if he was nervous about Trump's interest, Sarandos responded, "Look, I think he has a keen interest in the entertainment business. He knows about the entertainment business, and he really does care about the health of the industry, the American industry generally, but I think particularly the entertainment industry," according to Variety.
Separately, authorities are still investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen a week prior. According to NPR News, the 84-year-old mother and grandmother had dinner with family before returning home and has not been heard from since.
In a separate incident, Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, an immigrant, says he was brutally beaten by ICE agents, resulting in a fractured skull. NPR News reported that Mondragón says his memory was jumbled after the beating and he initially could not remember he had a daughter. The violence occurred in Minnesota on January 8.
