US shoots down Iranian drone approaching aircraft carrier, official says

The US military on Tuesday shot down an Iranian drone that "aggressively" approached the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, the US military said, in an incident first reported by Reuters.

Wall Street cashes in as Donald Trump ‘chickens out’ on Greenland

Donald Trump has retreated on his ambitions for Greenland, instead announcing an unspecified "framework of a future deal" for the island.
