Great to see Luxon condemn Trump's stance on Greenland and call in the US ambassador.
My mistake, he's still on holiday 15 days after he promised he would be back at work.

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

No doubt our govt will stand firm on this; Luxon & Peters will not capitulate to threats of punishment by tariffs because doing the right thing by Greenland is more important.
What are the chances?

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.
Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.
