Donald Trump

Greenback land

The renewed ambition to acquire Greenland reflects an intriguing blend of geopolitics, national aspiration, and economic strategy. Championed now by US President-elect Donald Trump, this idea has resurfaced with remarkable seriousness, raising questions about sovereignty, international relations, and global security.

The timing of the missile launches is interesting. At a time when the attention of the world is focussed on how to contain the spread of the deadly virus, North Korea has controlled information to the outside world and has reported no infections. It has projected an image of normality. Though the country closed the borders and all tourist traffic into the country well in time, it remains to be seen how it remained insulated from the spread of the virus when as many as 177 countries are reeling under its severity. Kim Jong-un often boasts of showing his presence at the site of missile launches but was not seen wearing a mask.
