The Story Making Headlines in the U.S.
American media have focused heavily on a single story — the death of a young National Guardswoman who was fatally shot along with another guardsman in Washington on Wednesday. Investigations are ongoing, and officials have released limited information about the incident.
Denmark’s Unusual Precaution Regarding Greenland
In a lighter yet politically charged topic, Danish authorities reportedly decided to organize a so-called "night watch" after renewed speculation about former U.S. President Donald Trump’s interest in purchasing Greenland. According to commentary circulating in Danish political circles, this move serves as a symbolic gesture rather than a practical one, emphasizing Denmark’s sovereignty and humorously ensuring that “no one seizes Greenland while they sleep.”
Background
The idea traces back to 2019, when Trump expressed interest in buying Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory. The proposal was quickly rejected by Copenhagen, sparking both political tension and widespread satire. Since then, the topic periodically reappears in public discourse whenever discussions of Arctic strategy or U.S.-Denmark relations occur.
“You cannot buy Greenland. It belongs to Greenland, and Greenland belongs to Denmark,” a Danish official noted when asked about the renewed rumors.
Context of the Report
While the “night watch” may not be an official military initiative, it has become a humorous symbol of national vigilance and Denmark’s firm stance on territorial integrity. The story reflects both the country’s dry humor and its sensitivity to geopolitical attention over Arctic territories.
Author’s summary: The news juxtaposes a tragic U.S. shooting with Denmark’s witty response to old rumors about Trump buying Greenland, highlighting national pride through humor.
