Following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, US President Trump has once again asserted his claim to Greenland. The island is "surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships" and is important for US security, he told The Atlantic magazine. Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that if the US were to launch a military attack on Greenland, it would mean the end of Nato.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who has been taken prisoner by the US, has stated in a New York court that he remains the legitimate president of his country and that he was "kidnapped". The 63-year-old rejected accusations that he abused his office and promoted drug trafficking. European commentators focus on the question of whether the US operation was legitimate.

In Iran, people have been protesting for more than a week, and the regime is cracking down hard. According to activists, at least 35 people have died and around 1,200 have been arrested. Triggered by a sharp drop in the value of the local currency, which drove angry traders onto the streets, the protests have since spread across the country and become political demonstrations.
