Scholz tells voters he is against increase in defence budget
Other German politicians have equally rebuked US President-elect Donald Trump over his demand that NATO's European members should more than double their defence spending.
German government officials previously accused Musk of election interference as his endorsement comes weeks ahead of the country's general elections in February.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his New Year’s Eve address, took a veiled swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk for his vocal support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Scholz warned that Germany's future would not be shaped by the influence of social media moguls, emphasizing that decisions about the nation's direction should lie with the citizens, not external figures. In a pointed remark, Scholz stated that, despite the growing attention garnered by extreme opinions, the vast majority of reasonable and decent people will ultimately determine the course of the country. The Chancellor’s comments came in response to Musk’s controversial endorsement of AfD, which has drawn criticism from German officials for its extremist views.

Special Counsel Jack Smith's report claims Donald Trump would have been convicted for election interference if he had not won the 2024 election. The 174-page report, submitted to Congress, argues that the Department of Justice's policy on presidential immunity prevented further prosecution. It highlights challenges faced in the investigation, including claims of political bias and witness intimidation. Trump’s response criticized Smith as biased, while the report's second volume, concerning classified documents, remains sealed.

US President-elect Donald Trump’s allies propose legislation to buy Greenland from Denmark, citing national security. Greenland’s pro-independence leader Mute Egede expressed readiness to discuss, despite emphasizing Greenlandic independence aspirations. Greenland, the world’s largest island with strategic resources and a key US military base, has grown increasingly autonomous. A Patriot Polling survey shows 57% of Greenlanders back Trump’s proposal, although Egede underscores an upcoming independence referendum. The bill would authorize negotiations immediately upon Trump’s inauguration in January 2025.
