The United States commends the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for their constructive efforts in reaching today’s ceasefire agreement, paving the way for renewed dialogue and cooperation toward a unified Syria.

The challenging work of finalizing the details of a comprehensive integration agreement begins now, and the United States stands firmly behind this process at every stage—as we safeguard our vital national security interests in defeating ISIS remnants and advance President Trump’s bold Middle East Peace Plan.

An invasion of Greenland by the U.S. administration would make Putin the happiest man in the world.

Why? First, because it would in some way legitimize his invasion and his unilateral actions questioning Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Second, because I very much fear that if such an invasion of Greenland by the United States were to take place, it would be the death certificate of NATO.
