Statement made Sunday by Mette Frederiksen, the Prime Minister of Denmark, in reference to renewed threats from President Donald J. Trump to “take” Greenland:

"I have to say this very directly to the U.S:

It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the U.S. to take over Greenland. The USA has no right to annex one of the three countries in the Kingdom of Denmark.

The Kingdom of Denmark - and thus Greenland - is part of NATO and is therefore covered by the alliance's security guarantee. We already have a defence agreement between the Kingdom and the U.S., which gives the U.S. wide access to Greenland. And we, on the part of the Kingdom, have invested significantly in security in the Arctic.

I would therefore strongly urge the U.S. to stop the threats against a historically close ally, and against another country and people who have very clearly said that they are not for sale.”

According to an intelligence report seen by The Times, Iranian Supreme-Leader Ali Khamenei plans to flee Tehran with a close circle of up to twenty aides and family, if military and security forces called on to quell the ongoing civil unrest begin deserting, defecting, or failing to follow orders, particularly members of Khamenei’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The plan is reportedly based on the escape in 2024 of his close ally, Syrian Dictator Bashar al-Assad, who fled Damascus in December as rebel forces approached the capital city from all direction, boarding a plane to join his family in Moscow. Khamenei, in planning his escape, would “gather assets, properties abroad and cash to facilitate their safe passage,” with them fleeing to Moscow.
