Greenland's natural resources and proximity to Russia and China have made it a valuable strategic asset to the US military since World War II.

The White House is reviewing a last-minute proposal from Iran to open diplomatic talks over its nuclear program, even as President Trump appears inclined to authorize military action, U.S. officials say.

The Wall Street Journal reports that JD Vance is among the senior officials pushing Trump to enter a new negotiation round with the Islamic Republic regime.

JD Vance on Sunday scrambled to answer a common question about the Trump administration's motives for attacking Venezuela. The notion that Venezuela was a target due to fentanyl has been a common theme since Trump first began ordering military strikes on ships from that region.

Responding to criticism that Venezuela has little connection to the global drug trade, JD Vance, in a post on X, said that such claims were misleading, stressing that cocaine trafficking remains central to the finances of Latin American drug cartels.

Vice President JD Vance wanted in on the action, so a high-stakes meeting over President Donald Trump’s demand that the U.S. take over Greenland will take place at the White House this week. The foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland will meet with Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday.

The vast Arctic island is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO ally of the U.S. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and his counterpart from Greenland, Vivian Motzfeldt, had been widely expected to meet on Wednesday with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, though the meeting hadn't officially been confirmed.

Diplomats worry there can be no compromise with the U.S. if President Donald Trump wants to “conquer” the self-ruling Danish island.
