J. K. Rowling has changed her Twitter header, but this time it’s unlikely to be Strike-Ellacott related. Of course the -5 deg C (25F) overnight temperatures in Edinburgh, may just be reminding her of her Summer holiday, aboard her yacht, but Greenland has been in the news recently for other reasons.
Hours after his son Donald Trump Jr touched down in the capital, Nuuk, on Tuesday, the US president-elect, Donald Trump, held a press conference, where he refused to rule out using military force to make Greenland part of the US, and threatened to impose “very high” tariffs on Denmark, of which Greenland is an autonomous territory, if it gets in his way.
The Kremlin is closely following U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s claim to Greenland, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. Whether this is with an aim to contain the US’ ambition, or as inspiration for their own is not yet clear.
