The UK Liberal Democrats stated over the past hour, in the 59-minute window ending at 10:46 a.m. UTC on January 19, 2026, that U.S. President Donald Trump's Greenland rhetoric risks an economic war and threatens NATO, which has kept us safe for 75 years, urging the Prime Minister to stand firm, according to their official X post at https://x.com/LibDems/status/2013193620233302516. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on claims about Russia’s “interests” in Greenland during the same period, as reported by Osint613 on X at https://x.com/Osint613/status/2013192711738733013. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said the UN Security Council “no longer represents the world” and is “ineffective,” according to an X post by Osint613 at https://x.com/Osint613/status/2013195327923266008. These statements follow Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre's confirmation earlier at 8:46 a.m. UTC of Trump's letter demanding U.S. control of Greenland linked to Nobel Peace Prize denial, as reported by VG, and come amid Russian state media comments on Europe's discomfort, per BBC journalist Steve Rosenberg. Anti-U.S. graffiti defying Trump's Greenland demands appeared in Copenhagen just before 9:45 a.m. UTC, spotted by X user Mij_Europe, building on transatlantic tensions including Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's rejection of blackmail.
