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.

A land-grab agenda for modern times

As the world enters 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump, now preparing for his second term, has reignited the flames of territorial ambition with rhetoric that harks back to America’s imperial past.

Iran and IAEA

In 2015, a major agreement between Iran and six other countries meant Iran accepted limits on its nuclear activities in return for an end to harsh penalties, or sanctions, that hurt its economy

White Fright

No media pundit likes to mention the disenchanted white working class Obama voters who switched to Trump or stayed home. An estimated 6.7 to 9.2 million such voters deserted the Democrats in 2016 when only 40 thousand votes in several key states would have prevented Trump from ascending into and addling the White House

Reviving a deal

The United States has no indication whether Iran will accept the offer; it has cautioned that the prospect of a meeting was a first step in what would be a lengthy, difficult process towards restoring the nuclear deal.

Now the courtroom

Now a private citizen, Trump is stripped of his protection from legal liability that the Presidency afforded him. That change in status is something that even Republicans, who voted on Saturday to acquit him of inciting the ugly developments as 2021 unfolded, are emphasising as they urge Americans to move on from impeachment.
