Greenland's outgoing Prime Minister Mute Egede called plans by the U.S. delegation to visit an American military base and attend a dog sled race a «provocation», and said his caretaker government would not meet with the group. Trump said his administration was working with «people in Greenland» who want something to happen, but did not elaborate. «They're calling us,» he said. «We're not calling them.»

That deadline, known as the «X-date» — the moment when the United States is unable to meet its financial obligations and might default on its debt — is a fiscal milestone that's among the most closely watched in Washington and on Wall Street. The date is subject to considerable uncertainty. It relies on estimates of how much wiggle room the Treasury has to use accounting maneuvers — known as «extraordinary measures» — to keep paying the government's bills by shifting money around. The Bipartisan Policy Center, a think tank, provided estimates suggesting that the X-date could come as late as the beginning of October. Efforts to address the debt limit will likely consume Congress and the Trump administration later this year as Republicans race to enact trillions of dollars of tax cuts. The debt limit is a cap on the total amount of money that the United States is authorized to borrow to fund the government and meet its financial obligations.

The White House and the National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Trump had mused during his first term about buying the world's largest island, even as Denmark, a NATO ally, insisted it wasn't for sale. The people of Greenland also have firmly rejected Trump's plans. Vice President JD Vance said Sunday that Trump «doesn't care» what the Europeans think.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday the Turkish authorities would not be cowed by «street terror» after days of unrest over the arrest of Istanbul's powerful opposition mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu. "Turkey will not surrender to street terror," Erdogan said as the leader of the main opposition CHP called for nationwide protests later on Friday over a move it has denounced as a «coup». «Let me say it loud and clear: the street protests that the CHP leader has called for are a dead end,» Erdogan warned.
