This photo taken on Jan. 15, 2026 shows the city center of Nuuk, capital of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. Greenland, the world's largest island, is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with Copenhagen retaining control over defense and foreign policy. The United States maintains a military base on the island. Since returning to office in 2025, Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to "obtain" Greenland. Trump has accelerated his push to acquire the island. On Saturday, Trump announced that the United States would impose a 10 percent tariff from Feb. 1 on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands and Finland, and raise the levy to 25 percent from the beginning of June unless a deal is reached for the United States to purchase the territory.

Thousands gathered in the Kargil district of Ladakh on Friday, January 16, to demonstrate their support for the Islamic Republic of Iran and its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following weeks of domestic unrest in Iran. Organized by the Imam Khomeini Memorial Trust (IKMT), the peaceful rally featured protesters carrying both Indian and Iranian flags while chanting slogans in support of the Iranian leadership. Participants issued a strong denunciation of foreign interference, citing 'anti-Islamic' policies by the U.S. and Israel aimed at destabilizing Iran. Kargil is renowned for its severe winter conditions. Footage captures protesters chanting amid falling snow.
