🇺🇸Trump is confident that the United States will get Greenland, and did not rule out the possibility of military force.

"We will get Greenland. Yes, 100%," the president said in an interview with NBC.

According to him, there is a high probability of this being accomplished without the use of military force. But he stressed that "it does not remove anything from the agenda."

Asked what message annexing the island would send to Russia, Trump said he "couldn't care." "I don't really think about it. I really don't care. Greenland is a whole other thing, a whole other thing," he added.

Vice President Vance visited Greenland the day before.

🇺🇸🇨🇳War with China 'the only scenario': Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has refocused the US military on containing China in Taiwan and strengthening domestic defenses.

This is stated in a classified document of the Defense Department, which was reviewed by The Washington Post. At the same time, the United States is ready to take into account the "risks" in Europe and other regions, but they are being asked to strengthen their self-defense.

“China is the only threat to the State Department, and preventing a takeover of Taiwan while defending the United States is its only playbook,” the document says. According to its concept, military planning would take into account only a conflict with China, excluding other possible wars between major powers.

The document outlines Trump's vision for preparing for a possible war with China and defending the United States from threats in its "near abroad," including Greenland and the Panama Canal.

The Pentagon is willing to "take risks" in other areas and insist that allies in Europe, the Middle East and East Asia take on greater responsibilities to contain Russia, North Korea and Iran.

Unlike the 2022 National Defense Strategy, which emphasized the role of allies in deterring Russia, Hegseth's plan calls for NATO to take on more responsibility as the U.S. focuses on other priorities.

🇺🇦🇺🇸Ukraine expects the US and Europe to react to Russia's strikes, Zelensky said.

He said that most of Ukraine's regions had been under attack for a week. The Russians had launched 1,310 guided air bombs, more than 1,000 attack drones, most of them "Shaheds," and nine more missiles of various types, including ballistics.

🇺🇸❗️Trump admitted in an interview with NBC News that he is “not kidding” about a possible third term. He added that there are ways to be re-elected, despite the constitutional amendment that limits it.

When asked by the TV channel to clarify the possibility of US Vice President J.D. Vance running for the post of head of state and then handing over this role to Trump, the American leader replied that “this is one” of the available methods.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦Trump was "angry and furious" at Putin's idea to introduce external control in Ukraine.

This follows from a quote from the NBC television channel, which interviewed the US President.

"Trump said he was "very angry" and "furious" when Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's credibility in his leadership, adding that the comments were "in the wrong place"... Putin on Friday called for a transitional government in Ukraine that could effectively oust Zelensky," the article said.

🇨🇳🇺🇸Chinese authorities have stopped a deal under which the American investment fund Black Rock would have bought two Chinese ports on the Panama Canal.

This is reported by CNN. The signing was planned for next week. Black Rock was going to buy out the controlling stake of Hong Kong company CK Hutchison, which has a stake in 43 ports around the world.

But now the buyout has been blocked by China's antitrust authorities.

The Black Rock deal was seen as a "way to ease tensions in the region" after Trump threatened to take the Panama Canal away from the US. He later praised the deal.
