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

The Economist magazine released a scathing caricature of Donald Trump on its cover, following his announcements in Davos regarding Greenland. The caricature depicts Trump naked from the waist up, sitting on a polar bear. The magazine links the image to the deal announced by Trump with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, for cooperation in developing the 'Golden Dome' anti-missile shield and in the mining of minerals in Greenland. The agreement, according to Trump, will be of 'permanent' duration and will cover the entire Arctic.
