Trump said the post-war international order is unnecessary for the United States

According to The New York Times, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that post-war international order norms should not limit Washington's power

The newspaper cited an interview with the U.S. leader, saying: "He described the post-war order norms as an unnecessary burden for a superpower."

The United States launched a large-scale strike on Venezuela on January 3, arresting the country's president Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, and taking them to New York. Trump claimed that Maduro and Flores would face trial, allegedly linked to "drug terrorism" and posing a threat to countries including the United States.

The U.S. State Department announced on January 5 that the Western Hemisphere is a sphere of Washington's interest, emphasizing Trump's intention to prevent any threat to American security. The department posted a black-and-white photo of Trump at an official event on its social media page, overlaying it with the slogan "This is our hemisphere."

Trump also repeatedly emphasized that Greenland should become part of the United States. He pointed out the strategic importance of the island for U.S. national security and the protection of the "free world" (including the prevention of China and Russia). The former prime minister of Greenland, Mette Frederiksen, responded that the island is not for sale and will never be sold. Subsequently, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, questioned the legitimacy of Denmark's control over Greenland during an interview with CNN. After being asked by the TV station to rule out the possibility of military action to annex the island, Miller stated that there are only 30,000 residents on the island, so such action is unnecessary.

On January 8, Politico reported that European countries are developing a plan to counter the United States in response to a potential attack on Greenland by the U.S.
