An extraordinary text message exchange between Donald Trump and Norway’s prime minister has revealed the US president no longer felt “an obligation to think purely of peace” because he didn’t get the Nobel peace prize, as he again declined to rule out seizing Greenland by force. The disclosure of the exchange with prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre comes amid a concerted push by Trump to grab the territory, a largely self-governing part of Denmark. !”On Monday, he told NBC news he would “100%” push ahead with his plan to impose tariffs on the country’s allies, and blamed Norway for denying him the Nobel prize. They like to say they have nothing to do with it, but they have everything to do with it,” he said. The Nobel peace prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel committee, a five-member private body whose members – mostly retired politicians – are appointed by Norway’s parliament but whose decisions are independent of the government.

Do you remember Rachel Reeves and issues as mundane as how badly she is managing the UK economy? I almost look on moaning about such things with a slight sense of nostalgia. Except we have, of course, to still worry about such things. But let's not pretend there is benevolent government going on here in the UK, because there is not. We are a long way from being out of a mess of our own creation, in other words.

But coast to coast, federal officers have been raiding homes, businesses, commercial parking lots – even schools, hospitals and courthouses. Border patrol is increasingly involved in the crackdown and a variety of other federal agencies have also been drafted into the efforts. Other federal agenciesThe Trump administration has drafted law enforcement agencies into his mass deportation agenda that typically have little to do with frontline immigration enforcement. Some jurisdictions, especially in Republican-led states and cities, choose to work closely with federal immigration authorities, assisting removal efforts under ICE supervision. But in many places, especially where Democrats dominate, local law enforcement limits cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

Donald Trump has linked his repeated threats to seize control of Greenland to his failure to receive the Nobel peace prize, according to an extraordinary letter sent to the Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre. “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace,” Trump wrote, adding he could now “think about what is good and proper” for the US. In a subsequent written statement, Støre stressed that the Nobel peace prize was not awarded by the Norwegian government. “I have clearly explained, including to President Trump, what is well known – the prize is awarded by an independent Nobel committee,” he wrote.

They've also moved two on with Oscar Cortes and Lyall Cameron leaving on loan, but all signs indicate the comings and goings aren't stopping there. ‌Plans are underway for at least two more signing with another option in the final third and a new physical central midfielder now targeted. The Rangers Review say the club are not by any means 'closed for business' after three new arrivals. And that would suggest Sunderland midfielder Neil, for whom we understand a permanent deal was being explored earlier in the window, could come firmly into contention.

Wildfires raging across central and southern Chile have killed at least 18 people, scorched thousands of hectares of forest and destroyed hundreds of homes, authorities said, as the South American country swelters under a heatwave. Chile’s president, Gabriel Boric, declared a state of catastrophe in the country’s central Biobío region and the neighbouring Ñuble region, about 300 miles (500km) south of Santiago, the capital

PHOTO: REUTERS[LONDON] The UK appeared to lay the groundwork for approving China’s new embassy in London on the eve of a controversial decision that risks driving a deeper wedge both within the ruling Labour party and with the US administration. Housing Secretary Steve Reed is due to announce the government’s decision on whether to grant planning permission for the embassy on Tuesday. She said “resolutions” had been reached over concerns about public access to the embassy and the consolidation of China’s diplomatic buildings across London into the single site. The decision, which the government has delayed several times, is set to be controversial due to ongoing concerns about the site’s position near sensitive cables. Despite the government’s reassurances, MPs from across the political spectrum called on it to deny China’s planning application the day before the decision.

A new report from the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) revealed that people with qualifications below A-level have more than double the likelihood of supporting the Conservatives or Reform UK compared to those with higher levels of education. It found that education divides attitudes on immigration and diversity more sharply in the UK than in the US, with “much wider gaps between graduates and non-graduates”. Some 40% of Americans aged 18–29 said other countries are better than the US, compared to 9% of over-65s. In the UK, roughly half of both the youngest (51%) and oldest (46%) generations agreed that there are other countries better than the UK. “In Britain, education stands out as the most important dividing line, particularly on immigration and diversity.

Reminding EU ministers how much of today’s economic malaise and immigration scapegoating arose from American failures doesn’t provide a solution. It disavows the inexpensive power projection of hegemony by imagining American hegemony as nothing more than American domination. The full NSS also spends some time discussing the “failure” of American hegemony, a term that isn’t mentioned in the publicly released version. “Yet the affairs of other countries are our concern only if their activities directly threaten our interests.”I don’t think that’s right at all. I don’t think the person who wrote, “Hegemony is the wrong thing to want” has thought through all the ways that coercion is more likely to backfire.
