Greenland PM denounces US ‘foreign interference’ ahead of visit
GREENLAND’S prime minister, Mute Egede, accused Washington on Monday of interfering in its political affairs by sending a US delegation to the Danish territory, which is coveted by US President Donald Trump.Egede said US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz would visit Greenland this week, along with Usha Vance, the wife of US Vice-President JD Vance. Usha Vance was to attend a dogsled race with her son.Greenlandic media reports said the delegation also included US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a former mining executive. They showed images of two US Hercules planes on the tarmac at Nuuk airport as part of an advance security team despatched to the vast Arctic island.Speaking to Greenlandic daily Sermitiaq, Egede said the “only purpose of the visit was a demonstration of power, and the signal should not be misunderstood”.Since returning to power in January, Trump has insisted he wants the United States to take over Greenland for what he says are national security purposes.He has refused to rule out the use of force to achieve that aim. Greenland — which is seeking to emancipate itself from Copenhagen — and Denmark itself have both repeatedly rebuffed Trump, insisting that only Greenlanders can decide their future. — AFPSource: The Global New Light of Myanmar

Brazil’s Lula to build trade ties on Japan state visit
BRAZIL’S president starts a four-day state visit to Japan on Monday, accompanied by a 100-strong business delegation as US tariffs push the countries to nurture trade ties elsewhere.Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba are also expected to discuss the joint development of biofuels ahead of November’s COP30 UN climate summit in the Brazilian Amazon.In talks on Wednesday, the leaders will reportedly restate their commitment to free trade following US President Donald Trump’s levies on steel and other imports.“Everyone who was talking about free trade is now practising protectionism,” Lula, 79, said ahead of his departure. “I think this protectionism is absurd,” he told Japanese media.Brazil is the second-largest exporter of steel to the United States after Canada, shipping four million tonnes of the metal in 2024.Lula and Ishiba will likely agree to regular leaders’ visits and to establishing strategic dialogue on security and other matters, Japanese media reported.The pair may also affirm the importance of the rules-based international order, a phrase often used to make a veiled dig at Chinese foreign policy. — AFPSource: The Global New Light of Myanmar
