Trump Escalates Arctic Ambitions by Appointing Louisiana Governor as Greenland Envoy
Washington D.C., Monday, 22 December 2025.
On Sunday, President Trump signaled a renewed push to acquire Greenland by appointing Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as Special Envoy to the territory. While the administration frames this as a national security imperative given the island’s strategic location and mineral wealth, the appointment breaks diplomatic norms; Landry intends to serve in this “volunteer” capacity while remaining governor. Crucially, Landry publicly declared his objective is to “make Greenland a part of the U.S.,” explicitly reviving the controversial acquisition strategy previously rejected by Danish officials and marking a pivot toward more aggressive U.S. economic statecraft in the Arctic Circle.

Ramaswamy Challenges Conservative Base to Reject Ethnic Intolerance Ahead of 2026
Phoenix, Saturday, 20 December 2025.
On December 19, 2025, Republican gubernatorial frontrunner Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a critical message to the conservative base at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, urging an explicit denunciation of rising anti-Indian American rhetoric. Despite holding the Ohio GOP endorsement, Ramaswamy faces a precarious political landscape; recent Emerson polling places him statistically tied with Democrat Amy Acton, trailing 45% to 46%. This strategic pivot to address “blood and soil” nationalism comes as he attempts to unify a fractured party, where prominent figures like Attorney General Dave Yost remain publicly skeptical of his candidacy. Ramaswamy’s confrontation highlights the tension between expanding the party’s appeal and managing extremist elements within its ranks ahead of the 2026 midterms.
