(1 of 3)Trump whines about a Nobel snub like a kid who didnāt get invited to the cool peace party, while planning Greenlandās makeover. Meanwhile, the UK nods politely but quietly side-eyes the chaos. Arctic drama or international soap opera? Hard to tell!
If buying Greenland was a Nobel category, Trump would be Swedenās unanimous winner by now. Peace, property rights, and pontificating all in one!
Starmerās diplomacy sounds like when your mom says she āloves your friendā but also āis just watching out for you.ā Nice save, UK!
