Denmark Counters Trump’s Greenland Dreams with Arctic Defense Budget

pgnewser January 28, 2025 0

Denmark has announced plans to increase its military presence in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions, an operation that will have a $2 billion annual budget.

Denmark’s Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said the move was made because, “There are serious challenges regarding security and defence in the Arctic and North Atlantic.” This follows comments by the country’s PM, Mette Frederiksen, calling for “European Unity.”

He stated, “Europe is facing a serious situation. With war on the continent and shifts in the geopolitical reality. In moments like this, unity is crucial. Denmark is a small country with strong allies. And it is part of a strong European community where together we can meet the challenges we face,”

Denmark has unveiled plans to boost its military presence in the Arctic and North Atlantic region.

Copenhagen announced on Monday that it will pump an additional 14.6 billion Danish crowns ($2.05bn) into security. The announcement came as the European country resists demands from United States President Donald Trump to hand over control of Greenland.

“There are serious challenges regarding security and defence in the Arctic and North Atlantic,” Denmark’s Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said in a statement.

His announcement came as Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen prepares to meet the leaders of France, Germany and NATO this week to shore up “European unity” on Greenland.

“Europe is facing a serious situation. With war on the continent and shifts in the geopolitical reality. In moments like this, unity is crucial,” Frederiksen said in a statement.

A preview of President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs on foreign nations nearly took shape over the weekend, but in a high-stakes game of chicken, the president of Colombia blinked first.

Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo announced on Sunday that his government would back off its refusal to accept two military planeloads of illegal immigrations deported from the U.S., which the county’s president Gustavo Petro previously called an “undignified” form of transportation for his citizens.

“A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that a human being deserves,” Petro initially said. “That is why I returned the U.S. military planes that were carrying Colombian migrants… In civilian planes, without being treated like criminals, we will receive our fellow citizens.”

In response, President Trump went on a social media tirade, excoriating the South American leader and threatening to impose an immediate 25% tariff on all Colombian imports.

“I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people,” Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Sunday afternoon.

Mexico’s Leftist Government at Existential Odds with new American President

pgnewser January 28, 2025 0

Tensions between Mexico and the U.S. are expected to escalate over the coming months as a Mexico’s Marxist President is confronted by an actual American President, as opposed to a leftist one (like Biden). Trump set the tone by officially renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, responded by claiming all of America, producing a map labelling American territory as “Mexican America.” The move did little to ingratiate herself or Mexico with the American people.

Mexico’s efforts to undermine our constitution by suing gun manufacturers, by aiding and abetting invaders of our American republic, and now its bold claim of all of America are also setting the groundwork for a potential American invasion of Mexican territory as it continues to fail to stop the cartels from assaulting Americans. Trump has responded to this threat by declaring cartels terrorist organizations.

“We’ve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps. We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources,” the tech giant said on X.

Excerpt:

JERUSALEM—President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he wants to resettle residents of the Gaza Strip in Arab countries, shaking up Middle East diplomacy in signature style. 

The president told reporters on Air Force One that he had asked King Abdullah II of Jordan in a phone call earlier in the day to “take people” from war-torn Gaza and that he planned to make a similar request of Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in a phone call on Sunday. Trump suggested that mass emigration from the strip, whether “temporarily” or “long term,” could help resolve “centuries” of conflict.

“You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing. You know over the centuries it has had many, many conflicts, and I don’t know, something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there. So I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where [Gazans] can maybe live in peace for a change.”

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump held a phone call with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday, during which the pair agreed to “meet soon.”

The call lasted 45 minutes and the two leaders discussed the release of British-Israeli national Emily Damari, who was held by Hamas and was released as part of the ceasefire deal with Israel, as well as the two nations’ economic relationship, according to a White House readout. Trump also offered his condolences to Starmer after the prime minister’s brother died from cancer shortly after Christmas.

Starmer also lauded Trump’s role in the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that was established just before his inauguration, according to the prime minister’s office.

Trump had high praise for Starmer just before the call when speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, acknowledging that while they differ philosophically, they nonetheless have a “very good” relationship.

“He’s liberal, which is a bit different from me, but I think he’s a very good person and I think he’s done a very good job thus far,” Trump said, adding, “He’s represented his country in terms of philosophy. … I may not agree with his philosophy, but I have a very good relationship with him.

Excerpt:

David Eby, premier of British Columbia, suggested last week that Canadians might stop buying American alcohol if President Donald Trump follows through with his tariff threat against Canada.

Eby has proposed several retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs, which Trump has threatened to impose if Canada does not do more to secure its border. The alcohol threat, which Eby floated last Tuesday, seemed to capture the most attention.

“When you’re at the grocery store and you have a chance to buy a product right now, you’re looking carefully at the labels to support Canadian jobs and to support Canada at this critical time,” Eby remarked at a press conference.

The B.C. premier went on to observe that his province is a major market for U.S. alcohol products.

“As a result, our decision not to purchase American alcohol definitely sends a message. It is one of the things that could be on the table in response to these tariffs that are completely unjustified,” he said.

WASHINGTON —  President Trump’s tariff threats to pressure Colombian President Gustavo Petro to accept U.S. deportation flights served as a warning to the entire region.

But while Petro attempted to stand up to Trump — with only mixed results — Mexico, the country most affected by U.S. policy on migration, appears to be playing it safer.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday said her government is continuing to receive U.S. flights full of deportees, and is accepting a small number from third countries.

“The relationship with the United States is special,” Sheinbaum told reporters. “We are obliged to have a good relationship.”

PANAMA – The Panama Canal, one of the world’s most important trade routes, has become a hot discussion item thanks to President Donald Trump. Much of that has to do with China’s growing influence in the region, and he’s making waves about America taking it back.

In his inaugural address, President Trump accused Panama of not honoring its agreements with the U.S.

“Panama’s promise to us has been broken,” he said. “The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape, or form. And that includes the United States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn’t give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.”

The U.S. helped to engineer and build the 50-mile waterway from 1904 to 1914. Then the U.S. controlled it from its opening in 1914 until 1979.

Colombian political leaders are calling for the impeachment of President Gustavo Petro, citing his recent public feud with President Donald Trump as a source of national embarrassment. Critics argue that Petro’s short-lived “trade war” with Trump damaged Colombia’s international reputation, particularly in its relations with the United States. The controversy stemmed from Petro refusing deportation flights from the U.S., which resulted in Trump threatening the nation with harsh tariffs. Petro then tried to turn the table on Trump and threaten him with a 50 percent tariff on U.S. goods.

U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately.

A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official, John Nkengasong, sent a memo to senior leaders at the agency on Sunday night telling them that all agency staff who work with the WHO must immediately stop their collaborations and “await further guidance.”

Experts said the sudden stoppage was a surprise and would set back work on investigating and trying to stop outbreaks of Marburg virus and mpox in Africa, as well as brewing threats from around the world. It also comes as health authorities around the world are monitoring bird flu outbreaks among U.S. livestock.

The Associated Press viewed a copy of Nkengasong’s memo, which said the stop-work policy applied to “all CDC staff engaging with WHO through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means — in person or virtual.” It also says CDC staff are not allowed to visit WHO offices.
