Economist: Trump 'Rides' Polar Bear on Cover After Greenland Deal

Donald Trump is featured on the cover of The Economist with a satirical image commenting on his recent announcements regarding Greenland. The image depicts Trump shirtless from the waist up, sitting on a polar bear, symbolizing his attempt to 'ride' the situation in the Arctic. The magazine links Trump's desire to purchase Greenland to an agreement with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, for cooperation in developing a missile defense shield and in mineral extraction. Trump has stated that the agreement will be 'forever' and will cover the entire Arctic.
