Trump Says Rare Earths Are Part of His Greenland Deal: It’s ‘Completely Bonkers. AI-Generated.
In 2019, former U.S. President Donald Trump stirred controversy by proposing that the United States purchase Greenland, the vast Arctic island governed by Denmark. While many thought the idea was simply outlandish — or even absurd — one of the most unexpected elements of his pitch was his suggestion that the purchase could help secure rare earth elements. Trump’s words that rare earths were a part of his Greenland deal were met with shock and disbelief. Critics quickly dismissed the notion, calling it “completely bonkers.” But what are rare earths, and why would they have mattered in this context? And more importantly, does Trump’s claim about Greenland’s strategic value hold any weight?

Japan’s Bond‑Market Tremble Reflects a Fiscal‑Monetary Clash. AI-Generated.
When financial markets whisper, economists listen. But when they tremble, the world takes notice. That’s what’s happening in Japan right now: the country’s bond market — once admired for stability — is showing signs of stress. But this isn’t just a technical fluctuation or a short‑lived blip. What’s really unfolding is a deeper clash between fiscal policy (government spending) and monetary policy (central bank action) — a clash with ripple effects not just for Japan, but for global markets, investors, and everyday people concerned about inflation, interest rates, and economic growth.

Blizzard Warning. When Winter Turns Dangerous
What Is a Blizzard Warning? Not just snow, but a storm A blizzard warning is issued when heavy snowfall combines with powerful winds, creating near-zero visibility and dangerously cold temperatures. These conditions can last for several hours or even days. Unlike a simple snowstorm, a blizzard doesn’t only cover the ground in white—it creates chaos. Meteorologists usually declare a blizzard warning when winds reach at least 35 miles per hour and visibility drops below a quarter of a mile due to blowing snow. These storms are often accompanied by freezing temperatures, making frostbite and hypothermia serious risks.

Winter Storm Watch. What It Means and How to Prepare
What Is a Winter Storm Watch? A winter storm watch is issued when forecasters identify the possibility of severe winter weather, but the exact timing, location, or intensity is still uncertain. This alert is different from a winter storm warning, which is given when dangerous winter conditions are imminent or already happening. The watch phase is essentially a heads-up. It allows individuals, businesses, and local governments to start preparing before conditions worsen. During this time, meteorologists continue to analyze weather patterns and refine their forecasts. If confidence in the storm increases, the watch may be upgraded to a warning or advisory. Typical conditions associated with a winter storm watch include heavy snow accumulation, ice storms, strong winds, reduced visibility, and extreme cold. These elements can create treacherous roads, power outages, and health risks, especially for vulnerable populations.
