Anything less than US control of Greenland is ‘unacceptable,’ Trump says ahead of talks – Europe live
Trump claims ‘Nato should be leading the way for us to get it’ and ‘if we don’t, Russia or China will, and that is not going to happen’ US president Donald Trump has doubled down on his rhetoric on getting control of Greenland, insisting that the US “needs Greenland for the purpose of national security.” In a social media post, Trump claimed that “Nato should be leading the way for us to get it,” and “if we don’t, Russia or China will, and that is not going to happen!” “Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, Nato would not be an effective force or deterrent - not even close! They know that, and so do I.” Continue reading...

Most Corrupt President in the history of The United States! It’s literally one thing after another! How about taking care of us Americans ?!?!?
Last year, Trump promised American oil executives "a great deal" if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.

Today, he "gave" them
Venezuela, home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison. Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.
