USA: US wants to open two new military bases in Greenland according to insiders

The US, Denmark, and Greenland are set to sign an agreement to reopen a former military base in Narsarsuaq and establish a new US presence in Mestersvig. The deal comes after months of pressure from US President Donald Trump, who had suggested that the US should control Greenland. The agreement will put security in the Arctic under NATO supervision.

In other news, the US has delivered military equipment to Guatemala for the first time in nearly 50 years, with $5 million worth of weapons and gear to be used to combat drug cartels and protect the population.

US Vice President JD Vance has defended the White House's decision to exclude certain media outlets, including CNN, from press briefings, saying it's about "basic fairness".

The trade conflict between Canada and the US has escalated, with both countries imposing tariffs on imports, affecting US farmers who rely heavily on Canadian potash imports.

Additionally, a wildfire is burning in California's Yosemite National Park, with over 580 firefighters battling the flames, which are 15% under control.
