1. Trump Says US Will Take Greenland the "Easy Way or Hard Way"
In an apparent escalation of threats against NATO ally Denmark, US President Donald Trump on Friday said the US must take Greenland to prevent Russia or China from taking it.
What did Trump say about Greenland?
"We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not," the president told reporters at the White House while meeting with oil company executives.
"Because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor," he added.
Trump has previously said he would not rule out using military force to take the largely ice-covered island that has a population of 57,000 people.
"I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way, but if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way," he said on Friday.
2. List of Intimidation Acts Targeting Indonesian Activists, Influencers in 2025
As 2025 draws to a close, a troubling pattern of intimidation has emerged in Indonesia, targeting activists, influencers, artists, and journalists who have publicly voiced criticism over the government’s response to a series of major national issues and crises.
The acts of intimidation range from coordinated online harassment and threats to physical terror, including the delivery of animal carcasses, vandalism, and even an attempted firebombing. Those targeted share a common thread: outspoken criticism of disaster response efforts and environmental governance.
Greenpeace Activist Terrorized With Chicken Carcass
One of the most alarming cases involved Iqbal Damanik, Climate and Energy Campaign Manager at Greenpeace Indonesia. On Tuesday morning, December 30, 2025, his home was targeted in what the organization believes was an act of intimidation.
3. Top 10 Countries with Largest Oil Reserves: Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and More
Despite the accelerating push toward renewable energy, crude oil remains a cornerstone of the global economy, with a full transition still years away. Against this backdrop, countries with the largest oil reserves continue to wield outsized influence over global trade flows, shaping everything from transportation and manufacturing to energy pricing.
Beyond economics, these resource-rich nations also play a pivotal role in geopolitics, where oil remains deeply intertwined with national security and strategic power.
To explore how these energy giants compare, read on for a detailed breakdown of the countries with the largest oil reserves in the world below, with insights from Visual Capitalist, World Atlas, and Energy Oil Gas Magazine.
