Greenland's future
Norway marks against the USA: "Stands behind Denmark"

The Nordics "stands behind" Greenland and Denmark, says Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, regarding Donald Trump's proposal to take control of the independent territory from Denmark. This is reported by AFP.

- The Arctic is a regulated area and the law of the sea applies, he says according to SVT Nyheter, which broadcast live from the summit.

The proposal comes during a Nordic summit in Finland, where the Nordic heads of state and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are attending, due to, among other things, the security situation in the Baltic Sea region.

The Nordic leaders also took the opportunity to mark against both Russia's and Israel's warfare. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said of Gaza that it is "unacceptable that emergency aid is not coming in".

The conflict with the universities
Trump threatens to withdraw billions for Harvard

Donald Trump's war against Harvard continues. In a new post on Truth Social, he threatens to cut off further government funding for the top university.

“I am considering cutting $3 billion in funding for the highly anti-Semitic Harvard and giving it to vocational schools across the country. What a great and much-needed investment that would be for the United States!” he writes.

Earlier on Monday, Trump demanded a list of all international students enrolled at the university.

Trump demands a list of names of foreign students

Donald Trump continues to rail against the elite university Harvard and is now demanding to know exactly who the international students at the school are, writes The Hill.

“We want to know who these foreign students are, a reasonable request considering we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard is not exactly helpful. We want those names and countries,” Trump writes on his platform True Social.

The move comes days after the White House banned Harvard from enrolling students from countries other than the United States, a move that was temporarily halted by a federal judge. Last academic year, Harvard enrolled about 6,800 international students, according to university records.

The Iran nuclear deal

Iran will not consider temporarily halting uranium enrichment to secure a nuclear energy agreement with the United States. This was stated by a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry according to Reuters.

The latest nuclear energy talks with Iran on Friday were described as “very, very good” by Donald Trump, according to news agencies. He suggested that a statement could come in the “next two days”, according to the AP.

– We have made real progress, serious progress, Trump said during the night as he boarded his presidential plane in New Jersey and continued:

– I think we can get good news on the Iran front.

Trump wants Iran not to be allowed to continue enriching uranium in any form, in exchange for easing of US sanctions against the country.

Trump's tariff policy
The EU wants to see a quick deal with Trump – will stop tariffs

Several major EU countries now want to see quick negotiations with Donald Trump to get him to withdraw the threat of 50 percent tariffs on the Union, writes the Financial Times.

Both Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen have had several crisis talks with the US in the past week to accelerate a quick agreement, writes TT.

It was last Friday that the US president recommended 50 percent tariffs on all goods from the EU starting on June 1, later postponed to July 9.

50 percent tariffs on the EU would raise prices of American goods in the union by more than 0.3 percent, according to calculations from Bloomberg.
