Trump Praises Colombian President’s ‘Tone’ While Global Drama Unfolds
KEY POINTS
- •On January 7, 2026, Trump praised Colombia’s president’s ‘tone’ during a phone call and promised a soon meeting.
- •Demonstrators rallied across Colombia aiming to ‘defend national sovereignty’ amid political tensions and foreign interest.
- •Nigel Farage condemned Trump's Greenland plan as ‘outrageous’ yet supported NATO bases where Greenland opposes them.
On January 7, 2026, Trump fabulously praised Colombia’s president for his ‘tone’ during an unspecified call, probably like admiring elevator music. Meanwhile, in Colombia, demonstrators gathered to ‘defend national sovereignty,’ presumably hoping to reclaim it from vague threats. Over in the US, the White House casually announced Venezuela will supply oil ‘indefinitely,’ which sounds like a free trial nobody asked for. Across the pond, Nigel Farage weighed in on Trump’s Greenland grab plan—calling it ‘outrageous’ to steal an ice cube from Denmark but supporting security bases as the ice caps retreat. British intelligence apparently wants NATO bases in chilly Greenland, though Greenland itself isn’t keen, kind of like wanting a neighbor you didn’t invite.
