RT by @CiaranDunbar: The White House has dismissed Britain as âweakâ for its response to the daring US special forces raid to capture NicolĂĄs Maduro.
A senior White House official said the response from London was sadly predictable.
âItâs not a surprise,â said the official. âThey are just weak.â
Donald Trumpâs aides are infuriated by Sir Keir Starmerâs lukewarm response to the arrest of the Venezuelan strongman on Saturday.
The Prime Minister should be celebrating the apprehension of a narco-terrorist, not demanding that Mr Trump answer questions about the legality of the raid, a senior White House official told The Telegraph.

RT by @CiaranDunbar: Donald Trump is serious about Greenland. And Stephen Miller is right that no NATO country will fight the US militarily for control of the territory - because theyâd lose. But if/when this takeover happens and if/when it happens in a way thatâs unacceptable to the rest of NATO, then not only does the alliance collapse but the ability of individual allies - in particular the UK - to fight is also profoundly compromised because of their inherent reliance on the US to enable their own armed forces to operate. So it is quite a bind

RT by @CiaranDunbar: More astonishing public comments from the Danish PM on Greenland.
âI believe one should take the American president seriously when he says that he wants Greenland. But I will also make it clear that if the US chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been established since the end of the Second World War.â
All the more remarkable given that less than three years ago Mette Frederiksen was meeting another US president & being considered for the NATO sec-gen job.

RT by @CiaranDunbar: NEW: In his first comments on developments in Venezuela, MicheĂĄl Martin describes Nicolas Maduro's regime as "illegitimate" and "oppressive", and is silent on whether his forced removal by the United States amounts to a breach of international law.
Taoiseach also admits there is "realpolitik" involved in European leaders withholding criticism of Donald Trump's actions this weekend, for fear of upsetting a prospective peace deal for Ukraine which is "existential" for other EU members on Ukraine's borders.
MicheĂĄl Martin was speaking in Beijing after meeting Xi Jinping â the first leader between a Taoiseach and a Chinese president since 2005.

RT by @CiaranDunbar: La Danimarca ha esortato Washington a "rispettare" il territorio danese dopo che la moglie di un alto funzionario della Casa Bianca ha riacceso le tensioni di lunga data tra i due membri della NATO in merito alla Groenlandia. Katie Miller, podcaster e moglie del vice capo di gabinetto presidenziale, Stephen Miller, ha pubblicato sui social media un'immagine che mostra la bandiera americana sovrapposta alla sagoma della Groenlandia. Il post della Miller, pubblicato dopo le azioni statunitensi in Venezuela, includeva la mappa del territorio con la scritta âPRESTOâ.
Nel frattempo Trump rilancia: "Abbiamo assolutamente bisogno della Groenlandia per la nostra difesa, l'isola Ăš circondata da navi russe e cinesi".
