Greenland Is a Distraction—Epstein Island Is the Scandal That Still Haunts Trump Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

There is something deeply misaligned about the way Trump's outrage is being directed. Once again, Greenland has been dragged into a fevered political conversation— this time as a symbol of strength, security, and ambition.  President Donald Trump has revived talk of acquiring the vast Arctic island, framing it as a strategic necessity. Yet while attention drifts north toward ice and geopolitics, a far more troubling piece of American history lies to the south, largely unexamined and unresolved. In 1917, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the United States for $25 million in gold. The deal was driven by wartime fears and strategic calculations. The islands—now known as the U.S. Virgin Islands—were seen as important to protecting shipping lanes and preventing German influence in the Caribbean during World War I. It was a straightforward transaction by the standards of empire, but it came with strings attached. As part of the agreement, the United States pledged it would not chall...

Fedlan News Calls It First: In Davos, Trump Signals No Military Plans for Greenland Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

While CNN, and other major networks flooded the airwaves with breathless coverage, parsing every stray remark Trump made about Greenland and wrapping it in a fog-of-war narrative, Fedlan News chose a different path. Instead of amplifying speculation, it offered a more measured view—laying out why the idea of the U.S. military attacking Greenland is not just unlikely, but implausible. That context mattered when President Donald Trump stepped onto the stage at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday. The audience was already primed for a speech that would drift well beyond interest rates and trade balances. Trump did not disappoint. What followed was a familiar mix of swagger, grievance, and off-the-cuff geopolitics. And tucked into it, almost casually, was the revival of one of the strangest notions of his presidency: the idea that the United States should acquire Greenland.  Throughout his speech, Trump repeatedly took aim at European leaders, accusing them of complacency, hypocrisy,...

Greenland And Denmark Can Relax: Congress Won’t Approve A $700B Purchase - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Greenland And Denmark Can Relax: Congress Won’t Approve A $700B Purchase - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom : Greenland and Denmark can rest easy—Congress is unlikely to approve Trump’s $700B plan to buy the island, making the ambitious proposal improbable. Donald Trump has never been subtle about his ambitions, but his renewed fixation on Greenland feels especially surreal. The island—vast, icy, and sparsely populated—has once again become the object of presidential desire. One official says Trump wants to buy it outright. Another suggests the United States could simply take it. Just days ago, Trump declared, "We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security," as if the matter were self-evident. Even setting aside the jaw-dropping $700 billion figure that has been floated in internal discussions, the idea collapses under the weight of law, politics, and reality. Greenland and Denmark, for all the noise, can rest easy. Congress would never approve such a purchase, and ther...

A Nobel Snub, A Wounded Ego, And A World At Risk: Trump’s Dangerous Meltdown - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

A Nobel Snub, A Wounded Ego, And A World At Risk: Trump’s Dangerous Meltdown - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom : When Ego Replaces Diplomacy: Trump’s Nobel Obsession, Greenland Threat, and the Return of Imperial Fantasy. Donald Trump has never hidden his appetite for spectacle, but his latest remarks suggest something darker than mere showmanship. After once again missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize, the US president reportedly told confidants he no longer feels an "obligation to think purely of peace." Shortly afterward, he sent a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre reviving his desire for the United States to take control of Greenland. It is a sequence of events that feels less like strategy and more like a tantrum—yet also something more troubling than that. Is this the behavior of a petulant child, lashing out because he did not receive the praise he believes he deserves? Or is it the symptom of an aging leader struggling with legacy, relevance, and the fear of...

Trump And Pete Hegseth Were Eager To Release The First Strike—So What’s In The Second Video? - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Trump And Pete Hegseth Were Eager To Release The First Strike—So What’s In The Second Video? - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom : Trump and Pete Hegseth rushed out the first strike video. Now they’re withholding the second. What are they hiding? Trump and Pete Hegseth are under intense scrutiny this week, after the secretary of defense—already widely criticized as unprepared for the job—told Senator Chuck Schumer that the Pentagon needed to “study” a video before releasing it. This isn’t just any video: it’s the record of a second missile strike that hit the wreckage of a small boat off Venezuela’s coast, killing two survivors clinging to debris. The decision to withhold it has raised serious questions, especially given that Trump and Pete Hegseth eagerly released footage from previous strikes.

 Would You Trust Elon Musk — Or Anyone — With Control Over Your Optimus Workers? - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Can Elon Musk be trusted with a programmable workforce? Explore the risks and power behind Tesla’s Optimus robots. It sounds like a question from a dystopian novel, but it’s one that’s inching dangerously close to reality. After reading T esla Optimus Gen 2: Elon Musk’s $1 Trillion Army of Programmable Workers , I was left with an unsettling thought: we may be approaching a future where labor itself isn’t just automated, but owned — not by the collective will of society, but by the ambitions of one man. Author Ben Emos explores how Tesla's humanoid robots are reshaping industry, economics, and the very meaning of work. From neural networks to shareholder manipulation, this book delivers insight with bite. "Optimus isn't just a robot—it's a mirror," says Ben. "It reflects who we are, who we serve, and who we're willing to replace." "The real worry isn't if Musk can command his robots — it's whether anyone should hold that kind of po...

Donald Trump: The Would-Be Dictator Who Couldn’t Win The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Donald Trump’s Nobel dreams collapsed as the world chose courage over spectacle. A dictator’s fantasy meets a brutal reality. Trump's yearning for the Nobel Prize has been an open secret for years. During his presidency, he repeatedly brought it up, often with a mix of resentment and disbelief. He would remind crowds that Barack Obama received the prize in 2009, a fact that still seemed to gnaw at him. He would point to talks with North Korea, the Abraham Accords, or moments when his administration avoided escalating conflicts, as evidence that he too deserved recognition. But what Trump never seemed to grasp was that diplomacy is not a show staged for applause. Real peacemakers don't hold rallies about their greatness—they do the work quietly, often in dangerous circumstances, without the expectation of glory. Added to the equation are the storms he created both at home and abroad. Inside the United States, entire states and cities were thrown into political and cultural turmo...

Best Friends In Infamy: The Statue Of Trump And Epstein, And The Art That Won’t Be Silenced - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Best Friends in Infamy explores the Trump and Epstein statue, a protest artwork the government tried to silence but couldn’t. In 2002, Donald Trump gave a quote that today lands like a grenade. Speaking to New York Magazine about Jeffrey Epstein, Trump said, “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” At the time, it read like another breezy Trumpism—cocky, careless, sprinkled with his usual mix of bragging and boundary-pushing. But reread it in the shadow of Epstein’s crimes, and it stops being harmless banter. It becomes evidence. It becomes the sort of line prosecutors circle in red ink. Because if Trump knew Epstein’s taste in “younger” women was more than a rumor, and if he never reported it, that could make him complicit. Misprision of felony, obstruction, accessory—whatever the statute, the deeper crime would be silence. This isn...
