Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

(1) Donald Trump said the US should take control of the devastated Gaza Strip, shunt the area’s residents to other countries and rebuild it into a new “Riviera,” a proposal at odds with America’s fraught history in the region and that drew sharp opposition from Saudi Arabia.

(2) The first volleys in the latest US-China trade war made clear that Xi Jinping is taking a more cautious approach than during Donald Trump’s first term.

(3) At least 10 people, including the gunman, were killed Tuesday at an adult education center in what Sweden’s prime minister called the country’s worst mass shooting. But a final death toll, a conclusive number of wounded and a motive hadn’t yet been determined hours later.

(4) French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou is set to ride out two no-confidence votes on Wednesday, giving him the stability needed to implement a delayed 2025 budget.

(5) Google parent Alphabet Inc. posted fourth-quarter revenue that missed analysts’ expectations after growth in its cloud business slowed, raising concern from investors about the billions the company is spending on artificial intelligence.
