    The president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Tshisekedi, has reached out directly to President Donald J. Trump with a historic proposal: help defeat a brutal rebel force terrorizing his nation, and in return, America will gain direct access to one of the world’s richest untapped troves of critical minerals—worth an estimated $24 trillion. According to a letter obtained by The Wall Street Journal, President Tshisekedi offered Trump exclusive mining opportunities through the newly launched U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund, a Trump-led initiative aimed at reshaping global investment through pro-American partnerships. “Your election has ushered in the golden age...
  • Alaska Sen. Murkowski Releases Joint Statement with Danish MP: Greenland ‘Open for Business, but Not for Sale’

    Sen. Lisa Murkowski issued a joint statement with the Danish member of parliament who holds two seats representing Greenland, emphasizing that the United States should view the icy landmass as a “an ally” rather than “an asset.” “The appeal of Greenland is easy to understand. It is strategically located for defense, shipping, and more. It is also a storehouse for all sorts of minerals, the building blocks of society that will determine who leads—and controls—the industries of the future,” the statement began. “Of course, a businessman turned president would be interested. But Greenland is not for sale. The question has...
  • Greenland votes amid Trump invitation to join US: What to know

    The Hill ^ | 3/10/25 | Elizabeth Crisp
    As Greenlanders prepare to head to the polls this week, the United States — and particularly President Trump’s stated interest in acquiring the territory — is looming large over their vote. Greenland’s national election Tuesday is set to determine 31 members of the Inatsisartut, its parliament. The world’s largest island is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, and while independence won’t be on the ballot this week, the results could ultimately set the stage for a later referendum on its future control. Despite pushback from both Danish and European authorities, Trump has doubled down in his quest for the U.S. to...

    US President Donald Trump on Wednesday again pushed for US control of Greenland, citing what he called security concerns. “We very need Greenland from the standpoint of national security and international security, we have to do something with Greenland,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One, as reported by Forbes Breaking News. Asked if the issue is “part of any discussions you're having with Europeans and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin,” Trump said it was not. “We have to have Greenland because of the national security picture, even more so now than it would have been 20 years ago, 30 years...

    “I got to say the Danish ambassador, they were upset and they were offended and they said, ‘Greenland is not for sale,’ and I laughed, and I said, ‘You know what: everything is for sale,'” Cruz said. “But friends and allies can have conversations about things that are mutual benefits. What I told Denmark is, I said: ‘Ever since the president began talking about this, Greenland’s independence movement has been growing in momentum. And if Greenland declares itself independent of you, Denmark gets nothing.’”

    In his first term, and approaching his taking of office in his second term, President Trump spoke of the importance of Greenland to American security and the desirability of purchasing Greenland.Historically, the United States of America has been interested in Greenland because of its strategic position. Attempts have been made to purchase the island. In WWII, the United States became the de facto protector of the island. The USA maintains a military base in Greenland.It is uncertain if President Trump will acquire Greenland for the United States. This may be the opening gambit in a negotiation for more control over...

    NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte agreed with US President Donald Trump regarding Greenland, particularly on the issue of defense, Bild reports. "When it comes to defense in the Arctic, Trump is right. What I think is very good is that the Prime Minister of Denmark immediately began negotiations with President Trump. Essentially, it was about the high relevance of defense in the far north," he said. According to Rutte, this applies not only to Greenland but also to Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Canada. "We all need to work together to protect these territories. And Trump is right," emphasized the...

    Greenland’s center-right Demokraatit party pulled off a surprise victory in the country’s parliamentary elections, taking Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede’s party, Inuit Ataqatigiit, out of power. Independence from Denmark became a focal point of the election amid President Donald Trump’s repeated talk of the U.S. taking control. "People want change ... We want more business to finance our welfare," said Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Demokraatit's leader, according to Reuters. The outlet added that Nielsen said Greenland does not "want independence tomorrow" and would prefer separation from Denmark be based on a "good foundation." Earlier this month, Trump brought up Greenland in his...
  • Center-right party wins most votes in Greenland’s parliamentary election as Trump seeks control

    The center-right Demokraatit Party won the most votes in Greenland’s parliamentary elections, a surprise result as the territory went to the polls in the shadow of President Donald Trump’s stated goal of taking control of the island one way or another. Both Demokraatit — the Democrats — and the second place party, Naleraq — “Point of Orientation” — favor independence from Denmark, but they have differences on the pace of change. Demokraatit’s upset victory over parties that have governed the territory for years indicates that many in Greenland care just as much about healthcare, education, cultural heritage and other social...

    As The Telegraph’s Tom Whitehead reports, prisoners in the UK must be given the right to vote following a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). If the British government complies with this ruling, it will do so in the face of huge parliamentary and public opposition, with MPs voting against such a measure by 243 to 22 last February. This is an appalling ruling from a supranational court in Strasbourg that does not possess an ounce of democratic credibility. Americans would never accept the judgment of a foreign court over their own domestic affairs, and nor should...

    Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has taken the first steps to amend her country's constitution. "Initially I thought the idea of cooperating with the United States in its quest to reduce the quantity of drugs being smuggled over the border would improve our relationship with our neighbor to the north," she said. "But after considering all of the aspects of what this might mean, I'm not so sure it's a good idea." "For one thing, exporting drugs to the US boosts our economy," she pointed out. "Is President Trump going to compensate us for the loss of this revenue if we...

    Former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland said Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” that Canadians were “furious” because President Donald Trump had challenged their sovereignty. Zakaria said, “You’ve talked about, uh, you know, 100% tariffs on some things. You talked about a boycott of American goods, which would not be a formal legal thing, but you’re just urging Canadians to stop buying American goods when they go to grocery stores. Is it also are you also thinking in your proposals of doing something on oil? You know, we import a lot of oil from Canada.”

    As the new Trump administration is now governing full steam ahead, sovereignty is back with a vengeance. With inaugural balls still lingering in Washington’s atmosphere, Donald Trump wasted no time in reimplementing aspects of American sovereignty that were dismantled or neglected during Joe Biden’s time in office. In a flurry of executive orders, Trump canceled asylum appointments at the United States-Mexico border, laid the groundwork for ICE deportations, and withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accords. On the economic front, Trump is planning tariffs on China to curtail the flow of fentanyl. At universities,...

    Last week, I filed a brief in support of our neighbor Utah in their lawsuit against the federal government regarding the widespread federal ownership of “unappropriated” land—that is, land owned by the federal government but not used for any federal purpose—across their state and throughout most of the West. Utah’s suit asks the United States Supreme Court to release much of this land back to the ownership and management of the states. As many of you know, I spent 8 years in Washington, D.C. representing Idaho’s First Congressional District. You can’t throw a rock in that town without hitting federal...
