LE FIGARO : Donald Trump, qui a ouvert son nouveau « Conseil de paix », se plaint régulièrement de ne pas avoir reçu le prix Nobel de la paix l’an dernier, malgré sa campagne acharnée en ce sens.
La première ministre italienne Giorgia Meloni a déclaré vendredi à Rome qu'elle espérait que le prix Nobel de la paix puisse être décerné un jour à Donald Trump, notamment s'il parvient à « instaurer une paix juste et durable en Ukraine ». « J'espère qu'un jour nous pourrons décerner un prix Nobel de la paix à Donald Trump et je suis convaincue que, s'il fait la différence (...) en instaurant une paix juste et durable en Ukraine, alors nous pourrons, finalement, nous aussi proposer sa candidature au prix Nobel de la paix », a indiqué Giorgia Meloni en réponse à un journaliste, à l'issue d'une conférence de presse commune avec le chancelier allemand Friedrich Merz. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | samedi 24 janvier 2026
Quelle absurdité ! Pour quoi Giorgio Meloni pense-t-il que Trump mérite le prix Nobel de la paix ? Pour avoir envahi le Venezuela ? Pour avoir menacé d'envahir le Groenland ? Ou pour avoir semé le chaos et la peur dans le monde entier ? — © Mark Alexander

'Europe Must Stand Up to Him': Mary Trump on Her Uncle and Greenland
Jan 20, 2026 | Andrew Marr is joined by the US President's niece, Mary Trump, to discuss Greenland, Venezuela and US-Europe relations.
It comes as Donald Trump gave a 90-minute briefing at the White House after doubling down on his demands to own Greenland.
Earlier, the president said there was "no going back" on his plan, claiming "Greenland is imperative for national and world security".
Trump is a DISGUSTING, DEPRAVED man. American electors were beyond stupid to re-elect such a vulgar, cruel man back to the hishest office in the USA. — G Mark Alexander

Lib Dem Leader Calls for 'Step-change' in the Speed of UK Rearmament | Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg
Jan 25, 2026 | In an interview with the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has urged for a "step-change" in the speed of UK rearmament and said that selling government war bonds would show the UK was serious about defence spending.
He said he was "relieved" US President Donald Trump had "backed down" on his comments about UK soldiers in Afghanistan but added that he still believed the US was "no longer a reliable ally on the economy or on defence" while the president remained in the White House.

Europe Needs a Dramatic Strategic Revolution - Now: Historian Robert Kagan
Jan 20, 2026 | Investigative journalist and co-founder of the Nerve Carole Cadwalladr talks to conservative historian and former historian Robert Kagan about the critical geopolitical moment we are in. With the Trump administration moving rapidly towards dictatorship, Kagan says, European governments need to completely change tack, fast. “I feel like the administration has done everything except climb up on the roof of the White House and yell what they're going to do,” says Kagan. ”Trump is already talking about how you don't really need these midterm elections.” "Europe needs to become self-sufficient in both military and economic terms" and without drastic action, “risks becoming a collection of fiefdoms of the great empires of the world... Some of them under Russia's thumb, some under America's thumb, maybe some influenced more by China.”
The Nerve is a new, fiercely independent media platform covering culture, politics and tech. Set up by a collective of five former Guardian journalists, including the investigative reporter Carole Cadwalladr, who believe that the UK needs more truly independent journalism as we have never been more in need of an independent, fearless press. Having nerve is the key quality the world needs now.

The Public Has Turned On Trump But US Elite Are Too Scared | Bill Kristol
Jan 20, 2026 | “It’s the elite who are finding complicated reasons why this isn’t quite the right time to oppose Trump.”
The US public has “moved” against Trump as elites and Republican politicians are failing to hold their redlines in the face of the American president’s disregard for all kinds of laws and rules, says writer and former chief of staff to vice president Dan Quayle, Bill Kristol.

Trump’s Wrecking Ball Pushes US Allies Closer to China
THE GUARDIAN: n the search for stability, some western nations are turning to a country that many in Washington see as an existential threat
f geopolitics relies at least in part on bonhomie between global leaders, China made an unexpected play for Ireland’s good graces when the taoiseach visited Beijing this month. Meeting Ireland’s leader, Micheál Martin, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China’s president, Xi Jinping, said a favourite book of his as a teenager was The Gadfly, by the Irish author Ethel Voynich, a novel set in the revolutionary fervour of Italy in the 1840s.
“It was unusual that we ended up discussing The Gadfly and its impact on both of us but there you are,” Martin told reporters in Beijing.
China is on a charm offensive with western leaders, a path cleared by Donald Trump’s increasingly erratic and destabilising power grabs on the global stage. Although Europe breathed a sigh of relief this week when Trump withdrew the threat of using military force in Greenland and said he would not impose tariffs on opponents of his plans in the Arctic, the US no longer seems like a reliable partner.
An editorial in the Chinese newspaper the Global Times made Beijing’s pitch clear: headlined “Europe should seriously consider building a China-EU community with a shared future”, the state media article said the world risked “returning to the law of the jungle” and that China and the EU should cooperate in building “a shared future for mankind”.
No country can afford to cut ties or truly antagonise the world’s biggest economy. But in the search for stability, US allies are turning to the country that many in Washington see as an existential threat: China. » | Amy Hawkins, Senior China correspondent | Sunday, January 25, 2026

Qui était Alex Pretti, l’infirmier tué à Minneapolis par la police de l’immigration
LE FIGARO : Cet Américain de 37 ans a été tué par des agents fédéraux en pleine rue, samedi, dans le Minnesota. Deux semaines plus tôt, ses parents lui avaient conseillé d’être prudent lors des manifestations.
Alex Pretti, 37 ans, a été abattu en pleine rue par des agents fédéraux, samedi, alors qu’il aidait une femme à se relever sur le sol enneigé et glissant de Minneapolis. D’abord présenté comme «un terroriste national» par l’administration Trump, le profil de cet infirmier, qui travaillait dans l’unité de soins intensifs de l’hôpital des anciens combattants de la ville, se précise peu à peu. Sa famille, ses amis et ses collègues dressent le portrait d’un homme aidant et soucieux du monde qui l’entourait. » | Par Barbara Azais | dimanche 25 janvier 2026

Sandra Navidi: „Trump wird die USA an die Wand fahren“
Jan 25, 2026 | Es beginnt wie der amerikanische Traum. Vor rund 25 Jahren startet die deutsche Anwältin Sandra Navidi in Manhatten eine Karriere, die sie später in die exklusiven Sphären der US-Finanzbranche führen sollte. Doch bereits kurz nach ihrer Ankunft in New York erlebt sie, wie die Anschläge auf das World Trade Center die Gesellschaft verändern. Einige Jahre später ist sie in der Wall Street angelangt und findet sich im Epizentrum der Finanzkrise wieder. Doch nichts davon erschüttert ihr Bild vom Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten so sehr wie die Ankunft von Donald Trump im Weißen Haus. In diesem Interview blickt die mittlerweile deutsch-amerikanische Unternehmerin und Autorin auf ihren Werdegang zurück. Sie erzählt, wie Trump die USA ruiniert und wieso sie heute niemandem mehr raten würde, nach Amerika auszuwandern.

Les États-Unis s'apprêtent à renvoyer des migrants Iraniens vers leur pays d’origine, selon une ONG
LE FIGARO : Donald Trump avait plusieurs fois menacé de frapper le régime des mollahs qui réprimait violemment les manifestants contre le régime, avant de sembler faire marche arrière la semaine dernière.
Les États-Unis prévoient d'expulser prochainement des migrants Iraniens vers leur pays d'origine, théâtre d'une répression sanglante qui a fait plusieurs milliers de morts à la suite du récent mouvement de contestation, a alerté une ONG Irano-Américaine.
Il s'agirait de la première expulsion de ce type vers l'Iran depuis la mobilisation, qui avait pris une ampleur majeure le 8 janvier, avant d'être violemment réprimée. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | samedi 24 janvier 2026

Greenland Government’s General Council Fears ‘A Real Risk of Military Invasion’ | Finn Meine
Jan 24, 2026 | “I think there is a real risk of military invasion.”
Trump’s threats to take over Greenland were not “only for show”, says Finn Meine, the general council to the Government of Greenland.

Trump Threatens Canada With Tariffs as Post-Davos Fallout Continues
THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Trump said he would impose tariffs if Canada made “a deal with China,” though there is no sign that those countries are discussing a broad trade agreement.
President Trump on Saturday threatened Canada with steep tariffs if it “makes a deal with China” and insulted Prime Minister Mark Carney, his latest swing at the country since Mr. Carney pushed back against his policies in a highly publicized speech in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
“If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. He referred to Mr. Carney as “Governor Carney,” a reference to Mr. Trump’s repeated insistence that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.
There is no indication that Canada and China are in discussions about a broad trade agreement. Mr. Trump may have been reacting to Mr. Carney’s state visit to China last week, during which he agreed to lower tariffs on some Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for China doing the same for some Canadian agricultural products. The closely watched visit was billed as a crucial reset in the two countries’ relationship, but the trade agreement itself was modest.
Canada gave Jamieson Greer, the U.S. Trade Representative, a detailed preview of the agreement with China before it was signed, a senior Canadian official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to divulge details about communication between the two administrations. Mr. Trump appeared to praise Mr. Carney after the deal was announced. (“Good for him,” he said.) » | Matina Stevis-Gridneff | Reporting from Toronto | Saturday, January 24, 2026

Trump Provokes a Rare Emotion in Greenland: Blind Rage
THE TELEGRAPH: While takeover plans have been dropped, Greenlanders have turned against the president forever
Growing up in Greenland, Tillie Martinussen was often struck by the reticence of her neighbours: they avoided offence and rarely showed emotion. To some extent, they mirrored the frozen, inscrutable landscape all around them.
“Greenlanders are very softly spoken people, we say things sort of under our breath,” Ms Martinussen, a 46-year-old former MP, told The Telegraph. “Even when it’s a touchy subject, it can be hard to discern what people mean.”
Then along came Donald Trump with his brazen – and at times nonsensical – campaign to seize Greenland by force. Everything changed after that, she said.
“Even my 75-year-old friend, whom I’ve known since I was born and have never heard swear, said, f--- Trump,” recalled Ms Martinussen. “And her friend, who is the same kind of person, and who can barely hold a cup of coffee, was saying, yeah f---Trump.”
There have even been cases of Greenlanders joking about turning their hunting rifles, usually reserved for Arctic foxes and caribou, on the president if he dares to set foot in Nuuk. » | James Rothwell, Nuuk | Saturday, January 24, 2026
