Trump says US, NATO will ‘work something out’ on Greenland

Britain has approved China’s plan to build its largest embassy in Europe on the Royal Mint Court site near the Tower of London, ending a three year planning deadlock. The decision comes despite warnings from some British and U.S. politicians that the complex could boost Chinese espionage activities in the UK.​ The government took over the planning process after the local council rejected Beijing’s application in 2022, and an inquiry was held last year to review the project.
