Trump, however, gave no timeline for when the meeting might take place. “We have a lot of meetings set up with a lot of people. But I’d rather wait after the 20th,” he said, referring to his presidential inauguration date. Moscow has not yet commented on Trump’s statement. Earlier Thursday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Putin would welcome Trump’s desire to meet, but so far there have been no official requests for contact. “If, after taking office, the political will to resume contacts at the highest level remains, then, of course, President Putin will only welcome this,” Peskov said…

The German government has approved a new system to make it easier to return Nazi-looted art to their rightful owners. Germany’s federal government has set up a new arbitration court to simplify the process of returning property stolen during the Nazi regime. The court is intended to make the final decision in a situation where parties dispute the return of Nazi-looted art during a preliminary process. The Arbitration Court for Nazi Looted Property allows for “unilateral appealability”. This distinguishes it from the old system where the descendants of the former owners and the current owners both had to agree on…
The targets in the agreement, which saw countries around the world pledge to keep warming below 2C and ideally within 1.5C, refer to long-term warming over several decades, not a single year. But last year’s unprecedented temperatures are a sign that the world is getting close to breaching the lower goal of the Paris Agreement, scientists say. “Each year in the last decade is one of the 10 warmest on record. We are now teetering on the edge of passing the 1.5C level defined in the Paris Agreement, and the average of the last two years is already above this…
Asked about his plans for their future relationship, he said: “I don’t plan anything, if something comes, it will come naturally … I don’t demand anything, let the collaboration happen naturally.” In recent weeks, Musk has made dramatic interventions with a far-right, anti-migration agenda in both German and British politics, most controversially by openly backing the populist Alternative for Germany party ahead of a Feb. 23 election.

The company holding the exploitation license has sued Greenland’s government for $11 billion. Other deposits are much smaller and harder to access, meaning their exploitation would require vast sums of investment and a lot of time to develop. Greenland’s voters will head to the polls at the latest in April, with Egede hinting during his New Year’s address that he might also propose a referendum on independence from Denmark. He’s in…
Climate campaigners are calling for wealth taxes on the top 1 per cent to limit their pollution and pay for damages. The richest 1 per cent of people have already blown through their fair share of the global carbon budget for the year just 10 days into January. That’s according to a new analysis from Oxfam, which takes aim at the “lavish lifestyles” of the super-rich for fuelling the climate crisis.‘Pollutocrat Day’, as the anti-poverty and inequality organisation has dubbed it, falls in a week marred by terrifying scenes of climate-driven devastation in Los Angeles. “The future of our planet is hanging…
However, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen organized a meeting with party leaders on Thursday to discuss the issue, while Rasmussen backpedaled on his initial nonchalant reaction. “We are taking this very seriously, but we don’t have any ambition to escalate a war of words with a president that is on the way into the White House,” he said. Unfit to fight an invasion Under the 1951 pact, the U.S. accepted the legal obligation to defend against any attack on the massive Arctic island, given the inability of the Danish armed forces to fight off a potential aggressor without help. “Denmark…
