Trump must be really desperate about the contents of the Epstein files since he does so much to distract from them - Venezuela, Minnesota & Greenland.
It would be good if the US had a president who tried to rule & support the US rather than provoke wars.

The message was sent to the Norwegian prime minister, who has no control over how the Nobel Committee awards its prizes. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, not Norway.
