Dear readers,
In a week in which Donald Trump has made his intention to gain control of Greenland plain, the US president's announcement of the creation of a Board of Peace, to be chaired "indefinitely" by the Repubican magnate, has met with a mixed response. Around 60 countries have been invited to join - for a fee of $1 billion - and while some have accepted, others have proven less enthusiastic in the face of Washington's challenge to the mulitlateral order, particularly within the halls of the UN, which Trump described as "unhelpful" and suggested "might" be replaced by his brainchild.
Trump has declared he will not employ force to annex the vast Arctic island, but stated at Davos that a "framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland" has been tabled. We took a look at what the territory, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, represents in economic and geostrategic terms and the various scenarios for its future.
In other news this week, we spoke with Venezuelan exiles about their hopes following Nicolás Maduro's removal from power, hosted Bill Gates at an event in Madrid to mark the 50th anniversary of El PAÍS, and looked at why US restaurant chains are struggling to maintain their market presence in China.
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition |
