Trump Eyes Greenland Purchase; Weight-Loss Drug Market Booms

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed long-reported plans from his time in office: he wanted the U.S. to buy Greenland. In a recent interview, he called the massive Arctic island a "strategic" asset and blamed aides for leaking the idea, which Denmark called "absurd" at the time. Separately, the business of weight-loss drugs is experiencing rapid growth. New medications known as GLP-1 agonists, which can lead to significant weight reduction, are creating a major new market. Pharmaceutical companies are now competing to develop more effective and convenient pill versions of these treatments. In other news, lottery jackpots in the United States are reaching record sizes. Changes to game rules designed to build larger prizes are resulting in unprecedented top awards, creating a series of the biggest lottery payouts in history.
