The mayor of Greenland’s capital city has admitted that she is now dreading the day that American warships appear on the horizon. Avaaraq Olsen said it is clear the fear felt among the 20,000 strong community of Nuuk is growing by the day.

The civic leader has issued a personal message to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is seeking to coordinate a NATO response to the growing crisis over Greenland by sending troops for a major security force to persuade Donald Trump that his US intervention is not necessary.

The mayor said: “Denmark or others make plans and announcements about Greenland - but they talk about us without us. So if Keir Starmer wants to plan anything like that, or even talk about it, he should definitely include the inhabitants of Greenland.”

Speaking in her office in Nuuk’s Civic Hall, Olsen points to the fjord that is visible from the window and says: “Yesterday I needed to take a walk, on the path we have on our coast line.

“There’s always this calming feeling when you listen to the ocean. I was standing myself and it was getting dark, and then a boat came and it was dark and it had no lights on.

“And suddenly I was wondering, will they (the US) come without the light? And even though I’ve been the one who’s telling everyone to keep calm I also understand that people are afraid.

“I really understand why people are looking towards the sky and the ocean for what might come.”

Olsen admits that she is normally circumspect in dealing with the media - but she has cast aside her caution due to the severity of the US threat. She claims that people have become distressed due to the “fake news” spread directly by Donald Trump and his top table team - led by son Donald Jnr, who visited Nuuk last January.

She said: “To Donald Trump I would say I don’t want him here. That would just show another way of disrespecting us if he came.

Donald Trump has urged Cuba to "make a deal" or face consequences, warning that the flow of Venezuelan oil and money would now stop.

The US president has been turning his attention to Cuba since US forces seized Venezuela's leader Nicolás Maduro in a 3 January raid on its capital, Caracas.

Venezuela, a long-standing ally of Cuba, is believed to send around 35,000 barrels of oil a day to the island.

Cuba's foreign minister responded by saying his nation retained the right to import fuel "without interference", while its president said: "No one dictates what we do."

The Trump administration's tactic of confiscating sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers has already begun to worsen a fuel and electricity crisis in Cuba.

On Friday, it seized a fifth oil tanker it said was carrying sanctioned oil from Venezuela.

"Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided 'Security Services' for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday.

"THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."

Trump did not specify the terms of a deal or the consequences Cuba could face.

But Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez said the Caribbean island nation had "the absolute right to import fuel" from any willing exporter "without interference or subordination to the unilateral coercive measures of the United States".

He added that, unlike the US, Cuba does not lend itself to "blackmail or military coercion against other States".

Trump also referenced the raid to seize Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who are now facing drug trafficking and other charges in the US.

Stock futures fall after Powell confirms criminal probe into Fed

Stocks fell in overnight trading Sunday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell confirmed the Trump administration had opened a criminal investigation into the central bank.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 200 points shortly after 8:30 p.m. EST, falling 0.4 percent. S&P 500 futures were down 0.5 percent and Nasdaq futures were down 0.7 percent.


The slide came after Powell announced in a stunning statement that he and the Fed were under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ), which had issued subpoenas to bank officials Friday night and had threatened a criminal indictment.

Trump Administration terminates federal grants for health services:

The Trump administration sent shockwaves through the U.S. mental health and drug addiction system late Tuesday, sending hundreds of termination letters, effective immediately, for federal grants supporting health services.

Three sources said they believe total cuts to nonprofit groups, many providing street-level care to people experiencing addiction, homelessness and mental illness, could reach roughly $2 billion. NPR wasn't able to independently confirm the scale of the grant cancellation. The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) didn't respond to a request for clarification.

"We are definitely looking at severe loss of front-line capacity," said Andrew Kessler, head of Slingshot Solutions, a consultancy firm that works with mental health and addiction groups nationwide. "[Programs] may have to shut their doors tomorrow."

Kessler said he has reviewed numerous grant termination letters from "Salt Lake City to El Paso to Detroit, all over the country."

Ryan Hampton, the founder of Mobilize Recovery, a national advocacy nonprofit for people in and seeking recovery, told NPR his group lost roughly $500,000 "overnight."

"Waking up to nearly $2 billion in grant cancellations means front-line providers are forced to cease overdose prevention, naloxone distribution, and peer recovery services immediately, leaving our communities defenseless against a raging crisis," Hampton said. "This cruelty will be measured in lives lost, as recovery centers shutter and the safety net we built is slashed overnight. We are witnessing the dismantling of our recovery infrastructure in real-time, and the administration will have blood on its hands for every preventable death that follows."

Republicans split on Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

Summary
Republicans divided on immigration enforcement tactics, poll shows
Shooting death of activist sparks nationwide protests
Trump's immigration approval rating slips to lowest of his term
WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's Republicans are divided over whether federal immigration officers should try harder to avoid hurting people after a community activist was shot dead during an immigration raid and as violent arrests continued, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey.
While 95% of Republicans continue to approve of Trump's performance as president, the poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday suggests a significant slice of Trump's backers are wary of his administration's aggressive approach to immigration enforcement. The poll found American approval of Trump's approach to immigration at its lowest point since he returned to office a year ago.

Poll respondents were asked to pick whether immigration officers should prioritize reducing harm to people even if this limits the number of arrests, or if they should be willing to use force even if there is a risk of serious injury or death.

Some 59% of Republicans favored a policy prioritizing arrests even if people get hurt, while 39% said officers should focus on reducing harm to people even if it means fewer arrests. Democrats were unified, with 96% focused on avoiding injuries and 4% saying immigration officers should focus on arrests.

>The report attributed the shift to combination of the large drop in entries and an increase in enforcement activity leading to removals and voluntary departures.
>The report's authors estimate there were between 310,000 and 315,000 removals in 2025, a figure lower than what the administration has claimed. Department of Homeland Security officials claim that, so far, more than 600,000 illegal scumbags have been removed during the crackdown.
I voted for this. Seems like Trump's border policies are working

https://www.cpr.org/2026/01/11/usfws-reviewing-national-wildlife-refuges-fish-hatcheries/

The Trump administration is reviewing hundreds of national wildlife refuges and dozens of fish hatcheries.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said it's looking for sites "established for a purpose that no longer aligns with the mission" of the bureau, according to a Dec. 16 order from Director Brian Nesvik, who used to lead Wyoming's state wildlife agency.

He said the review should also consider "opportunities to achieve efficiencies in the areas of governance, oversight, and span of control," along with ways to remove organizational barriers and staff capacity to work with local communities, and state and tribal wildlife management agencies.

Senior Advisor Joshua Coursey, a Wyoming mule deer advocate, will lead the review of wildlife refuges, while Acting Deputy Director for Operations David Miko will lead the one for fish hatcheries.

Some conservationists and former Fish and Wildlife Service employees worry the effort is being rushed, as the team leads were given three weeks over the Christmas and New Year holidays to conduct their initial review.

BREAKING NEWS: Mom killed by federal agent revealed to be anti-ICE 'warrior' who worked to resist immigration crackdown through activist school network
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15447429/renee-nicole-good-anti-ice-warrior-minneapolis.html
A mother-of-three killed by a federal agent during immigration operations in Minneapolis was an anti-ICE 'warrior' who coordinated resistance efforts with a network of other activists.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot dead on Wednesday while driving an SUV that was blocking a residential street during protests against an ICE operation.

The agent responsible, identified as Jonathan 'Jon' Ross, has been branded a 'murderer' by furious Democrats but has enjoyed the full support of the Trump administration, who argue he acted in self defense when it appeared Good intended to run him down with her car.

Now, Good's friends have revealed she was part of a network of activists coordinated through her six-year-old son's charter school who were actively resisting ICE.

'She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,' a mother named Leesa who has a child at the same school as Good's son told The New York Post.

'[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents — what to do, what not to do, it's a very thorough training.'

As part of this training, Good allegedly learned to listen to commands and to understand her rights.

'I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right,' Leesa said.

According to the publication, the school has publicly boasted of having a 'social justice first' approach to learning and 'involving kids in political and social activism.'

Good and her wife, Rebecca, moved to the area just last year and enrolled their six-year-old boy in classes at the woke charter school.

US President Donald Trump has been discussing "a range of options" to acquire Greenland, including use of the military, the White House said.

The White House told the BBC that acquiring Greenland - a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark – was a "national security priority".

The statement came hours after European leaders issued a joint statement rallying behind Denmark, which has been pushing back against Trump's ambitions for the Arctic island.

Trump repeated over the weekend that the US "needed" Greenland for security reasons, prompting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to warn that any attack by the US would spell the end of Nato.

The White House said on Tuesday: "The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the US military is always an option at the Commander-in-Chief's disposal."

Nato is a trans-Atlantic military group where allies are expected to go to each other's aid in case of external attacks.

On Tuesday, six European allies expressed support for Denmark.

"Greenland belongs to its people, and only Denmark and Greenland can decide on matters concerning their relations," the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Denmark said in a joint statement.

Stressing they were as keen as the US in Arctic security, the European signatories of the joint statement said this must be achieved by Nato allies, including the US "collectively".

They also called for "upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders".

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen welcomed the statement and called for "respectful dialogue".

"The dialogue must take place with respect for the fact that Greenland's status is rooted in international law and the principle of territorial integrity," Nielsen said.
