Trump Challenges NATO, Pushes Greenland Claim

Over the past year, Iran has exposed both the reach and the limits of U.S. power: from “shock and awe” strikes that made Tehran blink, to Washington’s muted response as an existential uprising was crushed, revealing Trump’s preference for easy wins over costly confrontations.

After recent events in Venezuela, Trump’s attention appears to have shifted to Greenland, with his team reportedly exploring ways to acquire it from Denmark, a move confirmed by the White House in early January.

The failed Moscow trip by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner shows Trump’s Ukraine peace plan is faltering from the start. According to Timothy Ash, Witkoff’s inexperience, perceived Kremlin closeness, and distrust in Kyiv and Europe cast doubt on the plan’s viability.

If Trump insists that Zelensky sign the agreement by November 27 and does not allow more time for negotiations, Ukraine will have to continue the war relying solely on European support.
