Greenland's future
"Trump's man in Greenland" drives the president's agenda

On the surface, Donald Trump has been keeping his claims to Greenland low-key lately, but several figures with connections to the president are driving his agenda on the island, the Financial Times reports.

One of them is influencer Thomas Dans, investor and Arctic Commissioner during Trump's first term.

Dans runs the organization American Daybreak, which claims to work for "a new American dawn in Greenland, the Arctic and Eurasia". They do this, among other things, by informing about US activities in Greenland during World War II.

- Americans and Greenlanders share a magnificent and courageous past, and I am sure that we will share a fantastic future, says Dans.

He emphasizes that he has no official mission, but has come to be called "Trump's man in Greenland" in the Greenlandic media.

Police still have many question marks to clear up after top Ukrainian politician Andriy Parubiy was shot dead in Lviv. The suspected shooter is still at large, police chief Oleksandr Shlyakhovskyy said at a press conference.

Police are investigating several leads, including whether Russia could be behind it, reports Ukrainian Pravda.

“The crime was very carefully planned and the perpetrator had prepared very well,” says the police chief.

Investigators are also looking at a surveillance video that has been circulated online and on social media, writes Kyiv Independent. The video reportedly shows the shooter waiting for Parubiy by a car before approaching the politician from behind.

TikTok shuts down its live function in Indonesia

TikTok is shutting down its live broadcast function in Indonesia in the coming days, reports Reuters.

“In light of the increasing violence during the protests in Indonesia, we are taking new security measures to ensure that TikTok remains a safe and civil place,” the Chinese-owned social media giant wrote in a statement.

TikTok, which has 100 million users in Indonesia, also announced that any content that violates its guidelines will be removed.

Several people have died in the violent protests, which are rooted in contempt for politicians and whose spark was a clip of a taxi driver being run over and killed by riot police on their way to intervene against protesters.
