Trump & Obama chatting

All five living presidents attended Jimmy Carter's funeral, and Trump sat right next to Obama. The Independent says the pair even shared a joke.

Forbes says it was quite the scene: Obama was seen giggling multiple times during his chat with Trump. Who would’ve thought?

According to the Daily Mail, Trump and Obama seemed pretty relaxed. . . at least compared to the other big-name politicians at the funeral.

People called the interaction a “rare moment of civility” between two political foes: They both seemed willing to put their past disagreements aside.

This Redditor didn't think the civility was that big of a shocker, though: It's a funeral! Of course Trump and Obama are going to act civil.

Can Trump buy Greenland?

In 2019, talk buzzed about Trump wanting to buy Greenland. But MSNBC says it can't happen: Denmark, a NATO ally, told Trump it's not for sale.

The Atlantic Council argues Greenland's autonomy and the Self-Government Act mean selling isn't an option -- it manages its own affairs, despite Denmark's oversight.

But the Boston Globe counters: Trump believes Greenland is key for U.S. security, with strategic value as new Arctic routes open up. Even if Denmark says it's not for sale, Trump still seems very interested.

CNN still doubts a buy is happening: The concept of buying Greenland is based on old-school and imperialistic view -- not how global politics roll today. Greenland's self-rule and Danish ties make the notion outdated.

Winter Storm Cora coming

Winter Storm Cora is headed for the southern and eastern U.S., threatening heavy snow, icy conditions, and power outages from New Mexico to Virginia, says the Daily Mail.

Yahoo.com says Cora's path is all about the snow and ice looming from Texas to the Carolinas.

Weather.com says cities like Dallas, Memphis, and Atlanta are in for several inches of snow and ice as the storm sweeps from Texas to Georgia and the Carolinas.

On another snowy note, Weather.com adds Cora's reach spans from Arkansas to Virginia, impacting daily life and travel plans.
