The Senate has backed a resolution that allows President Donald Trump to continue military actions in Venezuela without prior congressional notification, following a tie-breaking vote by Senator J.D. Vance. This resolution defeats efforts to limit the president's war powers regarding Venezuela, where tensions have escalated significantly.

A global survey conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations indicates that Donald Trump's America-first policy is perceived as enhancing China's global standing rather than strengthening the United States. The survey reveals that traditional adversaries of the U.S. feel less threatened, while allies, particularly in Europe, express growing distance from the U.S. leadership.

Greenland's economy is heavily reliant on subsidies from Denmark, with shrimp fishing being a significant industry. The potential for a mining boom raises concerns about the costs and environmental impact, as the territory navigates its economic future.

Global tensions are escalating as President Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland has sparked diplomatic disputes with Denmark, particularly following his appointment of a special envoy to the territory. This move has been met with strong opposition from both Danish and Greenlandic leaders, who assert their sovereignty over the region.

The White House recently posted a cartoon on social media depicting Greenlandic mush teams, which has drawn criticism for its association with neo-Nazi and white supremacist imagery. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the use of racially charged language by the Trump administration.

Following a meeting between Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and the Trump administration, tensions have escalated as both Greenland and Denmark assert that the U.S. is attempting to 'conquer' their territory. The discussions did not alter the U.S. stance on Greenland, which President Trump has expressed interest in acquiring.

Denmark has expressed a 'fundamental disagreement' with President Trump following discussions at the White House regarding the U.S. interest in acquiring Greenland. The meeting did not yield significant progress, and Trump reiterated his desire for the territory shortly after.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently described a positive conversation with Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, signaling a potential shift in U.S. policy towards the post-Maduro leadership. This dialogue comes amid ongoing tensions and U.S. sanctions against the Maduro regime, as Trump emphasizes the importance of political concessions and access to Venezuela's oil resources.
