Greenland Crisis  US Threats
Trump's Man Is in Greenland: "Will Listen and Learn"

Donald Trump's special envoy to Greenland, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, has landed in Nuuk. Danish media reports.

Landry is there to participate in a business conference. He has not received an official invitation - anyone can sign up as a guest.

When asked by DR whether the intention is still to take over Greenland, he answers no.

- I'm just here to build relationships, listen and learn and see if we can expand the relationship between the US, Greenland and Denmark.

Trump's instruction is to "go there and make as many friends as you can", he adds.

Trump has downplayed threats to take over Greenland since the Iran war broke out. Earlier this week, sources told the BBC that the US and Denmark are negotiating new US military bases on the island.

Election in Denmark
Government negotiations in Denmark paused

Almost eight weeks after the election, Denmark has not come any closer to a new government, writes TT.

Venstre leader Troels Lund Poulsen, who was given the exploratory mission last week after Mette Frederiksen failed, paused the negotiations today.

“All the parties have different wishes and we want to use Monday to calculate a number of political proposals before we move forward with the negotiations,” he writes on Instagram.

The government formation is the longest in Danish history.

Russian invasion  The world's response
Finland and Estonia disagree on dialogue with Russia

The discussion about whether Europe should hold direct talks with Russia or not has become relevant again, several media outlets report.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna is firmly opposed to talks.

– It is not the time to talk or negotiate. It is the time to increase the pressure on Russia, he said at a security conference in Tallinn on Saturday.

Russia is weakened, is Tsahkna's message. Things are going badly on the front, the economy is limping, the EU's loan to Ukraine has been voted through after Orbán disappeared and Russian frustration over the increased repression is growing.

The statement comes after Finnish President Alexander Stubb said that "it is time to start talking to Russia" in an interview with the Italian Corriere della Sera on Monday.

EU Council President António Costa also opened up for dialogue with Russia earlier in May, but only "at the right time".

Trump's USA  Trump critics indicted
James Comey indicted: "Trusts the justice system"

Former FBI Director James Comey, who is being charged with making death threats against Donald Trump, has "complete faith" in the American justice system. He says this on NBC's "Meet the Press".

– It is the last remaining leg on the three-legged stool that is the United States government, but it stands firm. It is the guardian of the rule of law, and I believe in it.

The other two legs he is referring to are the legislative branch (Congress) and the executive branch (the president).

Comey is being charged over an Instagram photo of a seashell formation that forms the numbers “86 47.” “86” is a slang term in the restaurant world that means something is finished, or to throw someone out.

According to Donald Trump, it is a mafia term for murder, which in this case refers to him, the 47th president.
