A living piece of history is swimming beneath the Arctic ice. This Greenland shark has been alive since 1627. It was born before Isaac Newton ]]> Tue 03 Feb 2026 05:42:01 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610774/a-living-piece-of-history-is-swimming-beneath-the-arctic-ice/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610583/greenland-a-man-attempts-to-raise-the-us-flag-in-nuuk/
A man attempted to raise an American flag in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, but was stopped by passersby, Danish broadcaster TV2 reported, citing local police. "A man attempted to raise an American flag in Nuuk. People present at the scene stopped him before he could raise the flag," the broadcaster reported. Police have reportedly launched an investigation into the incident. Greenland is part of the Danish kingdom, but President Donald Trump He has repeatedly stated that the island should become part of the United States.

Fake news. Oh no, whatever will we do?! Could he possibly be more moronic and aloof? Probably. https://youtu.be/yZRqMVeER5U US President Donald Trump spoke about his desire to take over Greenland at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland yesterday. However, he mixed up Greenland with Iceland several times. When a journalist pointed this out, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied it and said in a post on X “his written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is”. It’s unclear what she meant by his written remarks, as a transcript of the full address has not been published by the White House. We have listened back to Trump’s address to check what he said. Trump did refer to Greenland as a “piece of ice” several times, but also mentioned Iceland four times during his remarks: "I'm helping Nato, and until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me." “They’re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you.” “Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland’s already costs a lot of money.” ]]> Thu 22 Jan 2026 19:08:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610214/white-house-falsely-claims-trump-didn-t-say-iceland-instead-of-greenland-at-davos/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610208/now-more-than-ever-the-us-is-becoming-closer-to-acquiring-greenland/
The US has made multiple attempts to acquire Greenland dating back to 1946, now President Trump says a "framework deal" is in place I went to Greenland to speak with the Greenlanders to see what they have to say about potentially joining the US... watch and share because these might be your fellow citizens soon ]]> Thu 22 Jan 2026 15:54:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610208/now-more-than-ever-the-us-is-becoming-closer-to-acquiring-greenland/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610182/german-chancellor-merz-yes-to-arctic-defense-no-to-american-hands-on-greenland/
Merz is doing the very German thing here: nod politely, underline the risk, refuse the conclusion. Yes, Russia in the Arctic is a real problem. Yes, great-power rivalry is back. Thank you for attending Geography 101. What he does not say is the quiet part Trump wants to hear. Taking threats seriously does not equal grabbing territory. So Europe agrees on the diagnosis. It just does not agree that the treatment is American hands on Greenland. But what the treatment is... he conveniently left out. ]]> Thu 22 Jan 2026 10:22:02 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610182/german-chancellor-merz-yes-to-arctic-defense-no-to-american-hands-on-greenland/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610162/newsom-on-trump-plan-for-greenland-it-was-remarkably-boring-it-was-remarkably-insign/
Newsom on Trump's plan for Greenland "It was remarkably boring. It was remarkably insignificant. He was never going to invade Greenland. It was never real." ]]> Wed 21 Jan 2026 23:23:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610162/newsom-on-trump-plan-for-greenland-it-was-remarkably-boring-it-was-remarkably-insign/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610158/italy-s-meloni-some-european-countries-decided-to-send-soldiers-for-training-operati/
Italy's Meloni: Some European countries decided to send soldiers for training operations in Greenland. This was interpreted by the American administration as an attack against the Americans. I believe, instead, that it was an attempt to respond to a need that the Americans themselves have raised. That’s why I called Trump and told him, “Look, I think there’s been a misunderstanding.” And I believe it’s a mistake to predict or threaten to add tariffs to those nations that had made this choice. But as you can see, part of these problems is mainly caused by a lack of communication that needs to be restored. ]]> Wed 21 Jan 2026 22:32:01 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610158/italy-s-meloni-some-european-countries-decided-to-send-soldiers-for-training-operati/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610157/it-s-happening-we-are-getting-greenland/
It’s happening. We are getting Greenland. PRESIDENT TRUMP: “It gets everything we wanted. Real national security. It will be out pretty soon.
