Trump says US will take Greenland one way or the other

US President Donald Trump says the United States will take control of Greenland “one way or the other,” warning that Russia or China could move in if Washington does not act. He describes the mineral rich Arctic territory, which is part of Denmark, as vital for US security because of growing Russian and Chinese activity in the region.​ Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump says he prefers to reach a deal with Greenland’s self governing authorities but is ready to consider tougher options if negotiations fail. He argues that countries should “own” key territory rather than rely on leases, and says the United States must be ready to defend Greenland as its own.​ Trump has repeatedly suggested that if the US does not act, Russia or China will “take over” Greenland, a prospect he calls unacceptable. He also […]

South Africa defends joint naval drills with Iran, Russia and China as vital for maritime security

South Africa has defended its decision to host joint naval exercises with Iran, Russia and China, saying the drills are essential for maritime security and regional cooperation. The week long Will for Peace 2026 exercise began off the country’s coast on January 9 and is being led by China.​ Officials in Pretoria said the manoeuvres are not aimed at any country but are focused on protecting sea lanes, combating piracy and safeguarding maritime economic activities. The South African Navy described the drills as a practical response to rising tensions at sea and the growing importance of secure shipping routes.​ Warships from China and Iran, including destroyers, are participating alongside Russian and Emirati corvettes, while South Africa has deployed a frigate. Other BRICS partners and new members, such as Indonesia, Ethiopia and Brazil, have joined as observers to the exercise.​ The […]

US–Venezuela oil pact angers China, cools prices

Global oil prices slipped after President Donald Trump confirmed a deal for the United States to import up to 2 billion dollars worth of Venezuelan crude that had been blocked by sanctions.​The plan would redirect an estimated 30 to 50 million barrels of stranded Venezuelan oil to US refiners, boosting supply and easing market pressure.​ China, once Venezuela’s main oil customer, criticised the move as economic coercion and accused Washington of effectively hijacking cargoes previously tied to Chinese interests.​Analysts say the shift could undercut Chinese refiners that relied on discounted Venezuelan crude and weaken Beijing’s long standing energy relationship with Caracas.​ Trump has presented the deal as a win for American motorists and Venezuelans, arguing it will lower fuel costs while putting Caracas’ oil revenues under tighter US control.​Uncertainty remains over how long the arrangement will last and how it […]

Venezuela, Russia, China and UK voices urge US to free Maduro

Venezuela, Russia, China and political voices in the United Kingdom have called on the United States to release Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, after their capture in a US military operation over the weekend. At an emergency UN Security Council session in New York requested by Caracas, the Venezuelan government and its allies denounced the raid as a violation of the UN Charter and a dangerous precedent for the international order.​ Russia told the Council that the US action signalled a return to an era of lawlessness and domination by force, accusing Washington of acting as a self appointed global judge for political and economic gain. China said no country could claim to be the world’s police or international judge and warned that using military force as a solution would only deepen crises and erode the […]

Taiwan on high alert as China ends large scale drills

Taiwan has kept its military and coast guard on high alert even as Chinese naval and coast guard ships began pulling back after massive drills around the island. China’s “Justice Mission 2025” exercises saw dozens of rockets fired and large numbers of warships and aircraft deployed near Taiwan, prompting concern from Western allies.​ Taiwan’s Ocean Affairs Council said the maritime situation had started to calm, with Chinese vessels gradually leaving the area. All 11 Chinese coast guard ships that had been near Taiwan’s waters were reported to have moved away, though Taipei’s emergency response centres remain active.​ In the previous 24 hours, Taiwan’s defence ministry tracked 77 Chinese military aircraft and 25 navy and coast guard vessels operating around the island. It said 35 of those aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line, an unofficial boundary that China has increasingly […]

China stages major military drills around Taiwan

China has launched large-scale military exercises around Taiwan, simulating the seizure and blockade of key areas of the island, in what it says is a warning to “separatist forces”. According to the Chinese military, the drills involve the army, navy, air force and rocket force, and include live-fire exercises. The operation, code-named Justice Mission 2025, comes just days after the United States approved one of its largest-ever arms sales to Taiwan, valued at about $11bn. Beijing strongly condemned the deal and responded by sanctioning several US defence companies. China’s leadership has also criticised Taiwan’s efforts to strengthen its defence capabilities this year. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory, despite the island being self-ruled for decades. Taiwan’s presidential office denounced the drills, saying they undermine regional stability and international norms. The defence ministry reported detecting Chinese aircraft and naval […]

Expert urges FG to adopt AI to transform public service

Data scientist Gbolahan Temilorun has called on the Federal Government to make Artificial Intelligence a core part of ongoing public service reforms, arguing that it can boost efficiency, transparency and citizen engagement across ministries and agencies. He said rising public expectations, rapid population growth and limited resources mean Nigeria must embrace smarter ways of governing or risk falling behind countries already modernising with AI.​ Temilorun explained that AI refers to computer systems capable of tasks such as decision making, pattern recognition and language processing, which can help governments respond faster and allocate resources more effectively. When embedded in public service delivery, he noted, AI can reduce delays, improve accountability and cut back on manual, fragmented processes that slow down service to citizens.​ One immediate use case he cited is intelligent digital reporting platforms that allow citizens to report damaged roads, […]

 China says US is trying to block closer India ties

China has accused the United States of twisting its defence policy in an effort to block closer ties between Beijing and New Delhi. Foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks in Beijing while reacting to a U.S. Pentagon report on China’s approach to India. The report suggested China may seek to use easing border tensions with India to curb the growth of U.S.–India relations. Lin said China views its relationship with India from a long term and strategic perspective. He added that the border issue is strictly a matter between the two neighbours. He said China opposes any outside country commenting on or interfering in the border dispute. Lin also rejected what he called U.S. attempts to misrepresent China’s defence policy.

Russia plans nuclear power plant on the moon by 2036

Russia plans to build a nuclear powered facility on the moon within the next decade to support its lunar space programme and a joint Russian Chinese research station. The project is part of Moscow’s push to reassert itself in space as global powers race to establish a long term presence on the lunar surface.​ State space agency Roscosmos said it has signed a contract with the Lavochkin Association aerospace company to develop a lunar power plant by 2036. Although the statement did not explicitly use the word “nuclear”, the project involves state nuclear company Rosatom and the Kurchatov Institute, Russia’s leading nuclear research centre, strongly indicating a nuclear facility.​ Roscosmos said the plant will supply energy for Russia’s wider lunar programme, including rovers, an observatory and infrastructure for the planned International Lunar Research Station with China. The agency described it […]
