Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:

If your answer is “nothing,” then ask yourself this:
If the US President is a Russian asset, what should *I* be doing differently?

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Good news!
Earlier this year I shared reports that the land around the Cerne Abbas Giant was up for sale
I’m delighted that, after lots of conversations, the land has now been bought by the National Trust (who already own the Giant): www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
