World News: Greenland's new PM says U.S. will not get Greenland

This is the World Now, bringing you the latest stories from around the globe.

Greenland's new Prime Minister, sworn in on Friday, firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring the Arctic territory, emphasizing Greenland's autonomy and self-determination.

On Sunday local time, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen responded to President Trump's push to acquire Greenland.

In a social media post, Nielsen stated, "Let me be clear: The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else. We decide our own future."

President Trump on Friday once again expressed confidence in the U.S. acquiring Greenland, describing it as "100%" certain and citing national security interests.

Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance's recent visit to Greenland's U.S. military base further raised tensions as Vance criticized Denmark's administration of Greenland, implying that the U.S. could offer better security and governance.

In the Middle East Hamas has accepted a new ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar. However, Israel has responded with a counteroffer.

Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya announced on Saturday that the Palestinian militant group has agreed to a ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar, which includes the release of five hostages.

In return, Israel would permit increased humanitarian aid into Gaza and a halt to hostilities.

The deal also includes the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners by Israel.

Israel has submitted a counter-proposal demanding the release of 11 living hostages and half of the deceased hostages in exchange for a 40-day ceasefire.

Meanwhile, Israel is seeing large protests urging the government to prioritize negotiations for the hostages' release.

In Europe, a space rocket launched by German startup Isar Aerospace on Sunday local time crashed approximately 40 seconds after takeoff from a spaceport in Norway.

The uncrewed Spectrum rocket, 28 meters long, was designed to carry small and medium-sized satellites and marked Europe's first attempt at an orbital flight from the continent, excluding Russia.

Despite the outcome, Isar Aerospace's CEO said the test was a "great success," citing the collection of valuable data for future missions.

The attempt reflects Europe's ambition to establish independent space launch capabilities.
