Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen called on allies within NATO to stand united in defense of international law following renewed remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the Arctic island. Speaking on Thursday, Nielsen emphasized the importance of maintaining global alliances and post-war geopolitical norms amid rising tensions. The statement followed Trump’s criticism of NATO’s role in recent international conflicts, including its perceived lack of support during U.S. military actions involving Iran. In a social media post, Trump expressed frustration with the alliance and referenced Greenland in dismissive terms, prompting a swift response from Greenland’s leadership. Nielsen rejected the characterization, stating that Greenland is “not some piece of ice,” but a community of approximately 57,000 people committed to international cooperation and respect for allies. He stressed that institutions such as NATO and established international law are increasingly under pressure and require collective defense from member nations. Concerns about U.S. intentions toward Greenland have persisted since earlier in the year, when Trump renewed interest in asserting control over the island, which is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. In January, U.S. officials signaled that military options had not been ruled out, prompting European allies, including Germany and France, to deploy limited forces to Greenland as a precautionary measure. Subsequent discussions between Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte led to a shift toward diplomatic engagement. Ongoing talks between Greenland, Denmark, and the United States began in late January and continue, with further meetings expected. The United States maintains a military presence in Greenland under a 1951 agreement and has the option to expand operations. Trump and his supporters argue that control of Greenland is strategically important to counter growing influence from Russia and China in the Arctic region. Despite ongoing negotiations, Nielsen indicated skepticism about U.S. intentions, stating that he does not believe the possibility of U.S. control over Greenland has been removed from consideration. He reiterated that any future cooperation must respect Greenland’s autonomy and align with international law.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered more than $85,000 in back wages for employees at a Texas coffee business following an investigation into violations of federal wage laws. Officials said the case involved improper handling of employee tips and misuse of a tip credit system under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The department’s Wage and Hour Division investigated Nate’s At the Buda Mill & Grain Inc, operating as Nate’s Coffee & Cocktails in Buda, Texas. The investigation found that the company allowed its general manager to participate in an employee tip pool while also claiming a tip credit, a practice prohibited under federal law. As a result, the employer is required to pay $85,197 in back wages to 36 affected workers. Federal regulations clearly state that managers and supervisors are not permitted to retain any portion of employee tips or share in tip pools when a tip credit is applied. Tips are considered the property of service workers who earn them directly from customers. Violations of these provisions can result in employers losing the ability to claim tip credits and being required to compensate workers at the full federal minimum wage. The FLSA allows employers to pay tipped employees a base wage as low as $2.13 per hour, provided that tips received bring total earnings up to at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Employers may claim a tip credit of up to $5.12 per hour to meet this requirement. However, strict compliance rules govern how tips are distributed and who may participate in tip pools. Labor officials emphasized that employers must ensure tipped workers receive all earnings owed and comply fully with wage and hour laws. The department encourages both workers and employers to seek guidance to better understand their rights and responsibilities under federal regulations.
