Support spans Republicans, independents, and a substantial share of Democrats, making it one of the most broadly supported policies measured in the poll.

German troops have quietly packed up and left Greenland, just two days after arriving for a highly publicized NATO exercise meant to signal support for Denmark as President Donald Trump renews pressure over the strategic Arctic island.

The abrupt departure raised eyebrows in Greenland’s capital of Nuuk, where residents watched uniformed German soldiers board a commercial Icelandair flight rather than a military aircraft.

Once onboard, roughly half of the small contingent reportedly took seats in business class.

U.S. President Donald Trump is addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, with the world watching closely after his threats of annexing Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.

The speech — being streamed live in this post — comes a day after world leaders and historic allies of the U.S. repudiated Trump’s threats to annex the island, and after Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a major foreign policy speech to the same venue in which he said that “the old order is not coming back.”

On Saturday, Trump said he would impose a 10 per cent import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations because of their opposition to an American seizure of Greenland, which Trump has not ruled out seizing by force and argues the U.S. needs for “national security.”

The mass exodus followed Ley’s decision to accept the resignation of Nationals senators Ross Cadell, Bridget McKenzie and Susan McDonald after the trio crossed the floor to oppose hate speech laws drafted in the wake of the Bondi massacre.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday welcomed Parliament’s passing of anti-hate speech and gun laws in response to two shooters killing 15 people at a Jewish festival in Sydney last month. Authorities say the attack was inspired by the Islamic State group.

“At Bondi, the terrorists had hate in their hearts, but they had guns in their hands,” Albanese told reporters, referring to the father and son gunmen accused of attacking Jewish worshippers during Hanukkah celebrations at Bondi Beach on Dec. 14.

“We said we wanted to deal with that with urgency and with unity and we acted to deliver both,” Albanese added.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called President Trump’s threat to hit eight of America’s NATO allies with tariffs over their stance on Greenland a “mistake” on Tuesday. Speaking at the opening of the Davos economic conference in Switzerland, Von der Leyen said Mr. Trump’s threat risked plunging Europe’s relations with the U.S. into a “downward spiral.”

“When it comes to the security of the Arctic region, Europe is fully committed and we share the objectives of the United States,” von der Leyen said, highlighting as an example a move by Finland, NATO’s newest member, to sell ice breakers to the U.S.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.

A statement from his office said Netanyahu would become a member of the board “which is to be comprised of world leaders”.

The board was originally thought to be aimed at helping end the two-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and oversee reconstruction. But its proposed charter does not mention the Palestinian territory and appears to be designed to supplant functions of the UN.

Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have also agreed to join, as have Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Turkey and Vietnam.

Where did cannabis compounds like THC, CBD, and CBC come from? Scientists at Wageningen University & Research have now provided the first experimental proof showing how cannabis developed the ability to make these well-known cannabinoids. Along the way, the team also created enzymes that could be useful for producing cannabinoids through biotechnology, especially for medical use.

Their findings were published in the scientific journal Plant Biotechnology Journal. To reach these conclusions, the researchers rebuilt enzymes that no longer exist today but were active millions of years ago in early ancestors of the cannabis plant. Enzymes are essential to cannabinoid production in cannabis, driving the chemical reactions that create these bioactive compounds with recognized medicinal potential.

A new poll on Florida’s gubernatorial race shows Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., ahead of his primary challengers by 30% or more.

The Mason-Dixon poll released on Wednesday showed the South-West Florida congressman counting on the support of 37% of Republican voters. Donalds’ closest opponent, current Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, polled at 7%. His other two opponents, former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner and businessman James Fishback, polled in at less than 4%.

“Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds is the only proven conservative fighter who can unite Republicans, deliver on the president’s ‘America First’ agenda, crush the Democrats, and make Florida more affordable,” Ryan Smith, chief strategist of the Byron Donalds for Governor campaign, told The Daily Signal. “Anyone running against Byron is an anti-Trump RINO and will be soundly defeated in the Republican primary.”

NUUK, Greenland — U.S. President Donald Trump has turned the Arctic island of Greenland into a geopolitical hotspot with his demands to own it and suggestions that the U.S. could take it by force.

The island is a semiautonomous region of Denmark, and Denmark’s foreign minister said Wednesday after a meeting at the White House that a “fundamental disagreement” remains with Trump over the island.

The crisis is dominating the lives of Greenlanders and “people are not sleeping, children are afraid, and it just fills everything these days. And we can’t really understand it,” Naaja Nathanielsen, a Greenlandic minister said at a meeting with lawmakers in Britain’s Parliament this week.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As Democrats across the country propose state law changes to restrict federal immigration officers after the shooting death of a protester in Minneapolis, Tennessee Republicans introduced a package of bills Thursday backed by the White House that would enlist the full force of the state to support President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Momentum in Democratic-led states for the measures, some of them proposed for years, is growing as legislatures return to work following the killing of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. But Republicans are pushing back, blaming protesters for impeding the enforcement of immigration laws.
