US lawmakers arrive in Copenhagen to counter Trump’s Greenland threats

A bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers has arrived in Copenhagen to reassure Denmark and Greenland of strong congressional support amid President Donald Trump’s renewed threats to seize the Arctic island. Trump has called Greenland vital to US national security because of its strategic location and mineral wealth and has refused to rule out the possible use of force to acquire it.​ The 11‑member delegation is led by Democratic Senator Chris Coons and includes Republicans such as Senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, who have publicly pushed back against any military move on Greenland. They plan to meet Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic leaders to deliver a clear message that Congress stands firmly with NATO allies and supports Denmark’s sovereignty over the territory.​ Their visit follows high‑level talks in Washington between Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Greenland’s Foreign […]

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 […]

Denmark’s Greenland dilemma: Defending a territory moving towards independence

Denmark is under pressure to defend Greenland from growing United States interest, even as the Arctic territory moves steadily towards full independence. The issue will be high on the agenda when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets Danish and Greenlandic leaders next week.​ Greenland has enjoyed greater autonomy since 1979 and a 2009 agreement recognises the right of its people to choose independence. All major parties on the island support eventual statehood, and the largest opposition party now wants to bypass Copenhagen and open direct talks with Washington.​ Analysts say President Donald Trump’s threat to take control of Greenland, by purchase or force, has triggered strong solidarity for Denmark in Europe. But it has also exposed a paradox, as Denmark spends diplomatic capital to protect a territory whose long term goal is to one day walk away.​ Greenland’s position […]

Trump renews push to annex Greenland

Donald Trump has once again floated the idea of the United States annexing Greenland, despite firm opposition from Danish and Greenlandic leaders, who have urged him to end what they describe as repeated threats toward the Arctic territory. Speaking to reporters, the US president said Washington “needs Greenland from the standpoint of national security,” repeating arguments he has made in the past about the island’s strategic importance and mineral resources. Greenland’s Prime Minister, Jens Frederik Nielsen, rejected the proposal outright, calling it unrealistic and unacceptable. “That’s enough now,” he said, adding that any suggestion of US control over Greenland was a “fantasy.” He stressed that Greenland was open to dialogue, but only through established diplomatic channels and with full respect for international law. Denmark’s Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, also responded strongly, stating that the United States has no right to […]

Greenland PM tells Trump ‘enough is enough’

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen has firmly rejected renewed threats from U.S. President Donald Trump about annexing the autonomous Arctic territory. In a strongly worded message on Facebook, he said “that’s enough now” and called for an end to pressure, insinuations and what he described as fantasies about taking over Greenland.​ Nielsen stressed that Greenland is open to dialogue with the United States but only on the basis of mutual respect and international law. He insisted that Greenland’s future must be decided by its own people, not by external powers, and warned that talk of annexation has no place between friends and partners.​ His comments came after Trump again floated the idea of bringing Greenland under U.S. control, shortly after U.S. forces removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a military operation that alarmed Danish officials. The renewed annexation talk […]

Putin praises Ukraine gains and warns of further military action

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed what he called significant gains by Russian forces in Ukraine, using his annual press conference in Moscow to warn that Moscow is prepared to push further if peace efforts fail. The marathon question and answer event, a hallmark of his nearly 25 years in power, was dominated by the war and Russia’s confrontation with the West.​ Putin claimed that Russian troops now hold the strategic initiative along most of the front line. He said his forces have created, and intend to expand, a “security buffer zone” near Russia’s border to prevent Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory.​ The Russian leader repeated that the Kremlin’s goals in Ukraine remain unchanged. He insisted that the objectives of what Moscow still calls its “special military operation” will be fully achieved, either through negotiations or by force.​ Putin said […]

Zelensky meets Pope, refines response to new US peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met Pope Leo XIV in Italy as he prepares an updated response to a revised United States plan to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The meeting took place at the Pope’s country residence in Castel Gandolfo near Rome, during a wider European tour focused on talks with allies about war and peace efforts.​ Zelensky said Washington had cut its original 28-point proposal to 20 points after intensive talks with Ukrainian officials over the weekend. He explained that Ukrainian and European negotiators will now work through those 20 points and that Kyiv will send its formal, revised position to the United States soon.​ According to Zelensky, the main obstacles in the US plan involve possible territorial concessions and the level of long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. He stressed that Ukraine has no legal or moral right […]

Zelenskiy European leaders meet in London on Ukraine peace push

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and several European leaders are meeting in London as part of a renewed diplomatic push to end the war with Russia. The talks come amid intensified efforts by the United States and its allies to explore a possible path to peace while maintaining pressure on Moscow.​ The London gathering includes top officials from key European Union states and NATO members who remain central to Ukraine’s military and financial support. Participants are expected to discuss security guarantees for Kyiv, long term defence commitments and conditions under which future peace talks with Russia could take place.​ U.S. envoys have recently stepped up contacts with European partners and countries in the Global South to gauge support for a potential framework to end the conflict. Western officials insist that any settlement must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, while Russia […]

NATO allies plan big new US arms buys for Ukraine

NATO allies have pledged to make major new purchases of United States-made weapons and equipment to strengthen Ukraine’s defences as the war with Russia continues.​ Defence ministers and senior officials from several member states signalled plans to sign fresh contracts for air defence systems, artillery, drones, and ammunition, saying Ukraine still urgently needs long-term military support.​ The new commitments are expected to run into billions of dollars and will focus on replenishing Ukraine’s stocks while also rebuilding allied arsenals that have been depleted by previous transfers to Kyiv.​ Officials said the purchases would be arranged through joint procurement schemes and direct national orders, with the aim of speeding up deliveries and ensuring greater coordination across the alliance.​ They argued that the extra firepower is essential to help Ukraine hold the front lines, protect cities from missile and drone attacks, and […]

Trump Sends Witkoff to Moscow in Hopes of Finalizing Ukraine Deal

Donald Trump announced he’s sending his envoy, Steve Witkoff, and possibly Jared Kushner, to Moscow next week for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to finalize a peace agreement to end the Ukraine war. According to Trump, only a few disagreements remain, though European leaders remain skeptical amid ongoing Russian missile strikes on Ukraine. The original US-brokered 28-point plan—seen as favoring Moscow—sparked alarm in Kyiv and across Europe. However, a new version, developed with input from European allies, has incorporated more Ukrainian interests, including a higher cap on Ukraine’s military size and omitting a ban on future NATO membership. The official familiar with the changes calls the plan “significantly better” and says talks with the Russians remain cautiously optimistic. French President Emmanuel Macron and others have voiced doubts about Russia’s willingness for a deal, while US negotiator Dan Driscoll […]
