US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that the United States will send a hospital ship to Greenland, which will care for sick people. The exact reasons for this step are not clear, although some sources link the decision to the evacuation of a sick American from the island. Greenland is an autonomous part of Denmark, but Trump has long sought to acquire it.
At the same time, Trump announced an increase in global tariffs from the originally announced ten percent to fifteen percent, effective immediately. This decision came just one day after the US Supreme Court partially struck down his previous extensive tariffs, stating that the president had exceeded his powers. Trump reacted with sharp criticism, calling the judges fools and obedient dogs influenced by foreign interests.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva subsequently called on Trump to treat all countries equally and warned against a new cold war. Tensions also continue over Iran, where American envoy Steve Witkoff stated that Trump is asking why Iran did not capitulate in the face of military buildup. Trump gave Tehran an ultimatum of fifteen days to conclude an agreement on its nuclear program, otherwise threatening military strikes.
