Security expert hails Trump’s Greenland pact as a ‘big deal’ on par with Alaska purchase

Grant Newsham compared Trump’s pact with Denmark and Greenland to the U.S. acquisition of Alaska in 1867. the agreement would give the U.S. permanent control over security in Greenland. “I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns,” Trump wrote.

Appeals Court Rules Federal Ban On Interstate Handgun Sales Unconstitutional
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 against the federal government’s ban on interstate transfers of handguns on Sept. 18, finding the nearly 60-year-old law was unconstitutional. The ruling reverses provisions of the Gun Control Act of 1968 that prohibit handguns from being sold directly from licensed firearms dealers to buyers across state lines. “The ban sullies the plain text of the Second Amendment and is inconsistent with the nation’s tradition of firearms regulation, dating back to the founding era, under that Amendment,” Circuit Judge Jerry Smith wrote in the ruling.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has ended environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives in a dairy program that is funded by dairy farmers. The update applies to the National Dairy Promotion and Research Program, also known as the Dairy Checkoff Program.

A Sweeping US Sanctions Bill Offers Ukraine New Leverage On Russia, But Enforcement Looms
Ukraine has long argued that Russia will only negotiate seriously if the cost of continuing the war becomes too high. For Kyiv, punitive sanctions that impose real economic costs on Moscow are a key part of that strategy. This week’s passage of a long-sought, sweeping package of U.S. sanctions aimed at cutting off some of the financial resources President Vladimir Putin relies on to fund the war gives Ukraine another potential source of leverage, but its impact may depend on whether and how aggressively the measures are implemented by the United States.
