White House says Iran deal is 'not ransom'

Description

The White House denies that the unfreezing of $6 billion of Iranian funds to help secure the release of five US citizens was effectively a ransom payment. "This is not a payment of any kind. It's not ransom," says White House national security spokesman John Kirby, pushing back against criticism of the deal. SOUNDBITE

  • Pourquoi envahir le Groenland serait la pire décision de Donald Trump

    Donald Trump ne cache plus son ambition de vouloir annexer le Groenland. Cette volonté est motivée par plusieurs arguments, notamment "la sécurité nationale des États-Unis". Mais le pays espère aussi tirer des bénéfices de cette prise de contrôle : le Groenland est un pays qui regorge de ressources souterraines encore très peu exploitée du fait d'une topographie très peu praticable et d'un climat hostile. Au cœur de cette nouvelle "ruée vers l'or", on retrouve surtout les métaux critiques, très convoités par les industriels de la tech américaine. Le gouvernement américain a-t-il seulement raison d'envahir ce territoire quitte à se mettre à dos ses partenaires européens ? En tirera-t-il des bénéfices et si oui au bout de combien de temps ?
