Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen
Stop threatening Greenland, Denmark's PM tells Trump
COPENHAGEN — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has told US President Donald Trump to "stop the threats" about taking over Greenland.Frederiksen said "it makes absolutely no sense to talk about the need for the United States to take over Greenland", adding: "The US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom".“The Kingdom of Denmark — and thus Greenland — is part of NATO and is therefore covered by the alliance’s security guarantee. We already have a defense agreement between the Kingdom and the United States today, which gives the United States wide access to Greenland,” Frederiksen said on Sunday.“I would therefore strongly urge the United States to stop the threats against a historically close ally and against another country and another...

EU calls for respect of international law as Trump remains unclear on Venezuela transition
BRUSSELS — The European Union called for restraint and urged all actors to respect international law, as the United States remained unclear on its future plans for Venezuela after the dramatic ousting of Nicolás Maduro.A statement issued on Sunday night foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas was supported by 26 out of 27 EU member states, with only Hungary opting out.

"The EU calls for calm and restraint by all actors to avoid escalation and to ensure a peaceful solution to the crisis.""Respecting...

Bulgaria joins the euro after rocky path to new currency
SOFIA — Bulgaria has become the 21st member of the eurozone, bypassing more obvious candidates like Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.The lev has been the Bulgarian currency since 1881, but it has been pegged to other European currencies since 1997, first the Deutschmark, then the euro.Opinion polls put Bulgaria's 6.5 million population more or less equally divided on the new currency, and political turmoil is not making the transition easy.Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov's coalition government lost a confidence vote on 11 December, after mass protests against the 2026 budget. Bulgaria has held seven elections in the past four years - an eighth looks likely early next year."I don't want the euro, and I don't like the way it has been imposed on us," Todor, 50, a...
