  1. Submission statement:

    Irish newspaper [*TheJournal.ie*](http://TheJournal.ie) speaks to locals in Iceland about their views on Trump’s proposed annexation of Greenland.

    Icelanders label the plan ‘hare-brained’, stating: ‘There are absolutely no grounds for occupying or buying Greenland’.

    Icelanders also express solidarity and kinship with Greenlanders: ‘Greenlanders are still under the ownership of Denmark, and that’s something Icelanders can sympathise with as well, having only relatively recently gained independence.’

    Overall, Icelanders are highly critical of the White House, and the article ends with a further affirmation of Greenland’s right to autonomy.

  2. This and banning tiktok were the only two good ideas he ever had..
