COOL RECEPTION

COOL RECEPTION: US President Donald Trump has been unable to keep his story straight as to why America should be allowed to acquire Greenland. Is it for security reasons? Is it for the vast territory’s untapped critical minerals? Is he acting on a grievance related to not being awarded the 2025 Peace Prize? Or is he seeking to distract from political pressures at home? Whatever the real reason, Trump’s aggressive posture has received a reception from key allies that is cooler than a winter’s day on the Arctic island. Photograph: Bloomberg
