Denmark in Trump’s crosshairs as Vance makes ambitious appeal to Greenland
Denmark on Friday found itself in President Donald Trump’s crosshairs. Trump appears to be honing in on what his administration is now arguing is a failure by Copenhagen to protect Greenland from Russian and Chinese aggression.
Speaking to American soldiers from the U.S.’s Pituffik Space Base in northwest Greenland, Vice President Vance said, «Denmark hasn’t done a good job at keeping Greenland safe.»
«What we think is going to happen is that the Greenlanders are going to choose, through self-determination, to become independent of Denmark,» Vance explained in a more toned-down approach from Trump’s previous statements. «And then we’re going to have conversations with the people of Greenland from there.»

PUTIN SAYS TRUMP PLANS FOR GREENLAND ‘HAS NOTHING TO DO’ WITH RUSSIA
The vice president’s answer was in response to questions from reporters as to what lengths Trump would go to, to acquire Greenland despite strong resistance within the arctic nation to become a part of the U.S. as the president has previously signaled is his ambition.
«We do not think that military force is ever going to be necessary,» Vance continued. «And because we think the people of Greenland are rational and good, we think we’re going to be able to cut a deal, Donald Trump-style, to ensure the security of this territory, but also the United States of America.»
Vance said that Russia and China have been largely running unchecked in the area and «encroaching» on Greenland without proper protection from Denmark.
Though Greenland is an autonomous nation, it is still a territory of Denmark, which means Copenhagen oversees its security needs.

Greenland does not currently have its own military and would no longer be protected by NATO if it left Denmark, as it would need to formally apply for NATO membership as an independent nation.
«There has been an expansion of the security footprint in the security interests of Russia and China. They’re doing what they believe is in their interest,» Vance said. «The United States must do what I know is in our interest — which is to make sure that Greenland is safe.
«If Greenland doesn’t have self-determination, if the people of Greenland have their future controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, it’s not going to make their lives better off, and most importantly, it’s going to make American and world…security much, much weaker,» he added.

TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON ACQUIRING GREENLAND FOR ‘WORLD PEACE’ AMID VANCE VISIT
Vance said he wants Greenland to have American weapons, not Chinese weapons, and that he believes a partnership could be secured once the arctic nation votes for independence from Denmark.
While some in Greenland have said they would be interested in securing a partnership with Washington that could include access to fishing lanes in exchange for defense guarantees, Trump has signaled that he may be more interested in the nation’s rare earth minerals and energy opportunities.
However, Greenland, which is environmentally conscious, has previously blocked the EU from making deals to access those coveted resources.

«When the President says we’ve got to have Greenland, he’s saying this island is not safe,» Vance said. «A lot of people are interested in it. A lot of people are making a play.
«Our message is very simple: Yes, the people of Greenland are going to have self-determination,» he continued. «We hope that they choose to partner with the United States.
«We’re the only nation on earth that will respect their sovereignty and respect their security, because their security is very much our security,» Vance said.
En la pequeña isla de El Hierro, ubicada en el archipiélago de Canarias, se encuentra un lugar tan singular como exclusivo: el Hotel Puntagrande, considerado por el Libro Guinness de los Récords como el hotel más pequeño del mundo desde 1987.
Con una construcción que asemeja el casco de un barco anclado y solo cinco habitaciones, este establecimiento resalta sobre una lengua de roca volcánica que se adentra en el Atlántico, en el pueblo pesquero de Las Puntas, dentro del municipio de Frontera.
La estructura original del hotel se remonta a 1830, cuando fue construida como almacén para higos, uvas, almendras y la primera aguardiente de Canarias. Sin embargo, fue recién en 2018 cuando el italiano Davide Nahmias, junto a su esposa Paula y sus hijas Marta, Sophie y Noa, decidieron convertirlo en un rincón de hospitalidad en sintonía con el entorno.
“Visita como turista, permanece como invitado y parte como amigo”, es la frase que, según señala la familia Nahmias, en declaraciones recogidas por Europa Press, define el espíritu de Puntagrande.
El Puntagrande emerge entre las olas del océano como una pieza única de arquitectura boutique solo para adultos. Popularmente conocido como “el hotelito”, ofrece a sus huéspedes privacidad y una conexión directa con la naturaleza.
Cada una de sus cuatro habitaciones y la suite ha sido diseñada para emular el camarote de un antiguo navío, pero dotado de comodidades modernas y una decoración inspirada en materiales naturales y motivos náuticos.
No hay televisores en ninguna habitación: aquí, la pantalla es el Atlántico y la banda sonora está compuesta por el impacto de las olas contra la roca. La suite deluxe destaca por ofrecer dos terrazas con solárium, vistas al mar y un techo acristalado para disfrutar del cielo estrellado de El Hierro.
“Cada amanecer y cada atardecer parecen diseñados para el alojamiento”, describe la Guía MICHELIN, mientras que en el salón y en el restaurante se expone una colección de matrículas de barcos internacionales, evocando la enorme relevancia histórica de Canarias como ruta de los alisios. Un antiguo buzo del siglo XIX actúa como singular guardián del espíritu marino que impregna el hotel.
La intimidad y la exclusividad se potencian en cada rincón. Un aspecto que resulta determinante para el flujo de visitantes famosos que han elegido Puntagrande a lo largo de los años. Entre los más reconocidos figuran miembros de la familia real española, así como artistas como Sergio Dalma, Lola Flores y el dúo musical Azúcar Moreno.
Uno de los mayores atractivos para los huéspedes es la propuesta culinaria del restaurante Alma Marina, dirigido por Arabisen Quinteros y Lorena Machín. El compromiso por el producto local, el respeto al entorno y la intención de ofrecer una “emoción en cada plato” son los pilares de un menú que combina creatividad y tradición.
Aquí, el pescado fresco y los ingredientes autóctonos protagonizan una carta que sorprende tanto a visitantes como a críticos especializados.
Entre sus novedades, el restaurante presenta la experiencia Table 3D Mapping, en la que historias vinculadas al mar y a la isla se proyectan visualmente sobre las mesas, creando una experiencia inmersiva que fusiona gastronomía y tecnología.
Además, el hotel alberga el exclusivo Club del Puro, un espacio reservado para quienes desean explorar los mejores puros prémium y una selección de licores espirituosos de todo el mundo, disfrutando de un ambiente íntimo y distendido.
“La filosofía del Puntagrande es clara: no busca el lujo extremo, sino ofrecer un vínculo auténtico con la naturaleza y la cultura local”, sostienen sus propietarios.
A lo largo de su historia, el pequeño hotel ha recibido importantes premios y reconocimientos que refuerzan su reputación más allá del récord Guinness. En 1984 fue galardonado con el Premio a la Excelencia Turística y, en 1991, recibió la medalla de plata a la Importancia Turística por parte del Gobierno de Canarias.
En este 2025, el Puntagrande ha sido distinguido con una llave Michelin, reconocimiento que consolida su prestigio en la escena internacional del turismo de excelencia y autenticidad.
Este logro, según señaló Europa Press, refuerza el papel del hotel no solo como destino exclusivo, sino como símbolo emocional de la isla de El Hierro, donde la inmensidad del océano se funde con el carácter íntimo de una construcción diminuta pero cargada de personalidad.

Australia terror attack: 16 dead, including gunman, after father-son duo opens fire on Jewish community
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Police say a father and son were behind the horrifying mass shooting that left 16 people dead, including one of the gunmen, and 40 people hospitalized during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said during a press conference on Monday in Australia that it was a 50-year-old man and his 24-year-old son that carried out the terror attack.
The father is dead, police said, and the son is in critical but stable condition in a hospital. Lanyon also said they are not looking for additional suspects at this time.
The father was a licensed gun owner with six legally registered firearms. All six of the firearms have been recovered, with some being recovered at the scene. The others were located and recovered when investigators executed search warrants at two separate locations, police said.

The commissioner told reporters Monday afternoon that the father met the eligibility criteria for a hunting license used for recreational hunting.
Still unidentified, the father was issued a Category A/B firearms license, which allowed him to possess the long firearms he registered.
Lanyon told police the warrants were executed at a property in Campsie and another property in Bonnyrigg. He added that their residential address was in Bonnyrigg, though they were staying in Campsie.
The commissioner also told reporters the father had held a gun license for 10 years.
«There was very little knowledge of either of these men by the authorities,» Lanyon said. «The person was determined to be entitled to have a firearms license and…the person had a firearms license for a number of years for which there were no incidents.»
Two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also found at the scene of one of the homes where search warrants were executed. The IEDs were taken into possession by a rescue and bomb disposal unit and found to be active. They were then rendered safe by police.

Lanyon noted that the IEDs were «rudimentary,» or fairly basic, though he also noted he was grateful they did not detonate.
Police said the victims of the Sunday attack range in age from 10 to 87 years old.
The shooting happened during an annual celebration, known as «Chanukah By The Sea.» It was scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. to celebrate the first day of the Jewish holiday by lighting the first candle on the Menorah. The shooting happened around 6:45 p.m. local time.
Police say the attack «targeted» the Jewish community and is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
At least 40 people remained hospitalized after the shooting, including two police officers, the agency confirmed. The shooting is the worst attack against Jews since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks.
Police added that they found evidence of multiple improvised explosive devices in a vehicle near the scene of the attack.
«We have our rescue bomb disposal unit there at the moment working on that,» he said.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog acknowledged the attack while speaking at an event in Jerusalem recognizing immigrants’ extraordinary achievements on Sunday.
«At these very moments, our sisters and brothers in Sydney, Australia, have been attacked by vile terrorists in a very cruel attack on Jews who went to light the first candle of Chanukah on Bondi Beach,» Herzog said. «Our hearts go out to them. The heart of the entire nation of Israel misses a beat at this very moment, as we pray for the recovery of the wounded, we pray for them and we pray for those who lost their lives.»

Herzog also called on the Australian government to «seek action and fight against the enormous wave of antisemitism which is plaguing Australian society.»
