The Prime Minister says his State of the Nation speech will focus on his plan for setting up the country's future 

Chris Luxon is set to make the address at the International Convention Centre in Auckland this afternoon. 

Newstalk ZB understands he will try to draw attention away from turbulent affairs overseas - and to the Government's successes back home. 

Luxon told Mike Hosking that he won't be announcing policy - but will reveal a framework for going forward. 

He says the speech is a chance to lay out where we're at,  and what's going on. 

Chris Luxon says he will announce an election day shortly.

European leaders are meeting to work out how they can talk Donald Trump down from attempting to force the sale of Greenland. 

The US President's announced increasing tariffs starting next month, against six European countries, the UK and Norway, unless he gets a purchase deal. 

Observer Foreign Editor Andrew Rettman told Mike Hosking that Trump is known for flip-flopping on decisions, so leaders are working out if there's wiggle room. 

He says there's still hope this is just Trump's crazy way of negotiating. 

But Rettman says others are concerned a trade war could just be American soft power - with greater force to come.
