Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen on Trump:

The American president is unconventional, but America is more than its president.

There are checks and balances in American society.

Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen:

The idea that you can pick out certain countries and impose tariffs on them is not possible in the world we live in.

We are in the EU, and therefore it is the EU that must respond.

NEW: Tribes in Hama announce a general mobilization, saying they are ready to move toward Hasakah to fight the PKK/SDF and place themselves under the Syrian state’s command.

“We declare a general mobilization following the betrayal by the SDF gangs.”

“They violated the agreement signed between the Syrian government and the SDF leadership.”

“We place ourselves at the disposal of the Syrian state to defend our people in the Arab Jazira.”

WATCH: Iran’s state TV (IRIB) was briefly hacked, interrupting broadcasts with protest footage, anti-regime messages, and a call from Reza Pahlavi urging protests and defections.

When asked how she and Sheldon build political relationships beyond writing checks, Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson declined to elaborate:

Can you… allow me not to answer?

I want to be truthful and there are so many things that I don’t want to talk about.

Zionist Egyptian Jewish Haim Saban describes how influence works in the U.S. political system:

It’s a system that we did not create. It’s a legal system and we just play within the system.

If you support a politician, you should have access to share opinions.

The contribution and the financial support grants you the access.

Those that give more have more access and those that give less have less access.

It’s simple math.

Kay Gottschalk (AfD), German MP:

Germany needs nuclear weapons. The post-war consensus of outsourcing Europe's defense to the USA has finally dissolved into thin air.

At the latest, since Trump wants to annex Greenland, it should be clear to everyone: there are no friendships between states, only interests.

And the interests of the USA are fundamentally different from ours and Europe's.

We need the strongest military, the most capable soldiers, and the best weapons to make it clear to everyone: anyone who attacks us cannot win.

The Trump administration is reportedly discussing whether to offer asylum to British Jews “amid rising anti-Semitism” in the UK.

Robert Garson, Trump’s personal lawyer, told The Telegraph that Britain is “no longer a safe place for Jews.”

Garson says he has raised the idea with the US State Department.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

Europe has refused to talk to Putin. Now, after four years, more and more voices are saying that Europe should negotiate with him directly.

When Orbán first spoke with Zelensky and then with Putin, he was heavily criticized for talking to Putin.

Now, finally, more and more people are saying that Europe should do the same.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

Trump is not helping Europe, but helping the United States fulfill his program — to make America great again.

The Polish President, myself, and Viktor Orbán are President Trump’s closest allies in Europe.

Trump:

NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that “you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.”

Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!!

Trump’s renewed push to annex Greenland has convinced many European leaders that the U.S. under Trump is no longer a reliable ally.

In private, officials describe his move as “crazy” and “mad,” wondering if he is in a post-Venezuela “warrior mode,” and argue it warrants Europe’s toughest retaliation for what they see as an unprovoked attack on allies.

As a result, Europe is accelerating plans to operate beyond NATO, with the Ukraine-focused “coalition of the willing” emerging as a possible backbone for a new, U.S.-independent security order.

New Trump post on Truth Social.

In a new memoir, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says the 2024 vice-presidential vetting process for Kamala Harris was far more troubling than publicly known.

He writes that aides fixated on his views on Israel and at one point asked whether he had ever been an Israeli agent—questions he found offensive and disproportionate.

The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group is transiting from the South China Sea through the Strait of Malacca toward the Middle East, with arrival in the Arabian Sea expected around Jan 25, 2026.

Trump sent an “interesting” letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Støre:

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”
