Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

If you want to exploit our resources, you have to respect our legislation and our very high environmental standards, because that is part of who we are and part of our culture.

But we are ready to discuss anything on mutual respect.

Greenland’s Prime Minister on the Trump–Rutte deal:

I don’t know what is in the agreement or the deal about my country, as those discussions I didn’t attend. I don’t know what is concrete in it.

What I’m saying is that we have a high-level working group that will sort things out.

Update: Trump’s Chairman title has been removed from Wikipedia.

BREAKING: Washington is weighing a full U.S. troop withdrawal from Syria.

With the YPG/SDF losing territory, facing pressure to disband, and ISIS prisoners being transferred out of the region, Pentagon officials are questioning whether the mission—roughly 1,000 U.S. troops focused on containing ISIS—remains viable.

Carney responds to Trump:

Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange.

But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

Carney:

Our country was built on the bedrock of three peoples: Indigenous, French, and British.

Long before the battle on these plains, long before the first French ship sailed up the St. Lawrence, Indigenous peoples were the original stewards of this land.

They built nations, trading networks, and systems of governance that spanned the entire continent. The Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, the Wendat, and the Innu shaped this land and were shaped by it.

Then the French came. They built a new society adapted to the realities of North America, shaped by the river and forest, by trade with Indigenous nations, and by the determination to survive and flourish in this land.

When the British came, that civilization did not disappear. It endured and now it thrives.

Carney:

A strong and united Canada stands up for families and workers and protects the most vulnerable, whether they’re a newcomer, a person with a disability, or a member of the 2SLGBTQI+ community.

Carney:

Canada can’t solve all the world’s problems, but we can show that another way is possible.

That the arc of history isn’t destined to be warped towards authoritarianism and exclusion; it can still bend towards progress and justice.

Trump:

Today, I am announcing the United States’ intention to bid for the World Expo 2035. The Great State of Florida has expressed strong interest in hosting the Expo in Miami, which I fully support. Miami Expo 2035 can be the next big milestone in our new Golden Age of America.
