The United States has once again turned its attention to Greenland, this time not through official statements but through a viral meme.

A tanker suspected of being part of Russia’s sanctions-busting “shadow fleet” will be escorted to the French port of Marseille-Fos, sources close to the case said Friday, a day after the navy intercepted it.

US President Donald Trump criticized Canada for opposing his “Golden Dome” missile defense system over Greenland, accusing Ottawa of prioritizing economic ties with China. Trump asserted Canada’s security relies on the US, a claim rejected by Canadian PM Mark Carney, who emphasized Canadian sovereignty and thriving independently. The dispute highlights ongoing bilateral tensions and differing approaches to international relations.
