Washington, January 22 (Xinhua) — The White House is negotiating an agreement that would grant the United States "full access" to Danish Greenland without time restrictions, US President Donald Trump announced Thursday on Fox Business.

"I mean, we're really discussing the details right now, but essentially it's full access. No end date, no time limit," Trump said in an interview.

A day earlier, the US president said that because his talks with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had resulted in "creating a framework for a future deal" on Greenland and the wider Arctic region, he would not impose tariffs on eight European countries that were due to take effect on February 1.

In response, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Thursday that Rutte had no authority to negotiate on behalf of Denmark or Greenland, reiterating that Greenland's future was a Greenland-by-Greenland decision and that sovereignty could not be a topic of negotiations. –0–

Minsk, January 22 (Xinhua) — Belarus and China remain reliable friends, and relations between the two countries are not affected by any political situation or external pressure. This was stated by First Deputy Foreign Minister of Belarus Sergei Lukashevich during the "Economic Environment" program on the Belarus-1 television channel, dedicated to the 34th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Belarus and China.

S. Lukashevich noted that Belarus and China are demonstrating an example of mutually beneficial, comprehensive cooperation. "It's impossible to name a single area in which Belarus and China don't cooperate to some extent. This includes politics, economics, humanitarian affairs, border control, and customs. There's no limit to the number of points of contact we have with China," the diplomat emphasized.

According to him, Belarus has been purposeful and confident in establishing an all-encompassing strategic partnership with China. "We have reached such a high level of our relations thanks to the leaders of Belarus and China. Their strategic thinking allowed us to see the future we are already living in," the First Deputy Foreign Minister of Belarus stated.

S. Lukashevich noted the high level of political, diplomatic, and economic cooperation between the two countries. "Belarusian cooperation with China is not a formality-driven collaboration. It meets Belarusian interests and vision," S. Lukashevich noted, adding that Belarus supports China in all its initiatives.

BEIJING, January 22 (Xinhua) — China is a responsible major developing country, and its efforts to combat climate change, promote global development, and utilize renewable energy have been widely recognized, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Thursday.

The diplomat made this statement at a press briefing in response to US President Donald Trump, who reportedly said on Wednesday in Davos, Switzerland, that China produces a lot of wind turbines, but he "couldn't find a single wind farm in China." Trump also claimed that China sells wind turbines to "stupid" people.

China has built the world's most advanced carbon-reduction policy system and the world's largest renewable energy system, Guo Jiakun noted, adding that the country is actively sharing its achievements in green development.

He emphasized that China's installed wind power capacity has ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years. As of the end of November 2025, China's installed wind power capacity exceeded 600 million kW.

According to Guo Jiakun, between 2021 and 2025, China's wind power and photovoltaic exports helped reduce carbon emissions in other countries by a total of about 4.1 billion tons.

China is ready to work with all parties to continue promoting the global green and low-carbon transition and jointly build a clean and beautiful world, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman added.

Brussels, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday avoided a no-confidence vote in the European Parliament over the signing of a free trade agreement between the European Union and the South American Common Market (Mercosur).

The motion for a vote of no confidence, which required a two-thirds majority, was rejected: 390 deputies voted against, 165 voted in favor, and 10 abstained.

The free trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur was signed on January 17 in the Paraguayan capital Asunción.

MEPs stated that the agreement ignores the negative positions of national parliaments, the European Parliament, and European farmers. They also accused von der Leyen of failing to address the EU's most pressing problems, including the decline of agriculture and rural areas, and worsening food security.

During the debate on January 19, European Commissioner for Trade Policy and Economic Security Maroš Šefčovič emphasized that the agreement "sends a strong signal to the world" amid the potential imposition of additional tariffs by the United States. "We choose multilateralism over unilateralism and mutual benefit over unilateralism," he stated.
