Arnold Schwarzenegger, known for iconic catchphrases like “Get to the chopper” and “I’ll be back,” proves that he knows what his audience desires.

When asked about the ongoing actors’ strike and if he would need to recite his famous lines, Schwarzenegger doesn’t hesitate to oblige. Amidst the weights and running machines at Guardians Personal Training Centre, situated at Parliament Hill Lido, the 76-year-old actor and former California governor makes it clear that he’s not one to argue over trade union nuances.

In this unusual interview setting, Schwarzenegger emphasizes that while the actors’ strike may prevent him from promoting his movies, it doesn’t apply to his catchphrases from films like “Predator” and “Terminator.”

Schwarzenegger’s London visit centers around his new book, “Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life,” which has garnered support even from unexpected quarters. Reviews from outlets like The Guardian, not typically known for favoring Republican politicians, have praised the book as an “improvement guide that actually works.” Schwarzenegger’s aim with the book, which covers topics such as working hard, thinking big, and keeping an open mind, is to help people become more successful.

Reflecting on his journey from bodybuilder to action star and politician, Schwarzenegger dismisses the notion of being a “self-made man,” emphasizing the importance of seeking help and supporting others. He credits numerous individuals, from bodybuilder Reg Park to the millions who voted for him during his tenure as the Republican governor of California, for his achievements.

Schwarzenegger has dedicated the past three decades to philanthropy, supporting causes like the Special Olympics and donating to pandemic responders. His recent Oktoberfest-themed fundraiser raised $7 million for after-school programs.

Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens‑Frederik Nielsen has delivered a clear message amid renewed pressure from the U.S. — if forced to choose between the United States and Denmark, Greenland will pick Denmark, NATO, and the EU.

Nielsen made the declaration in Copenhagen alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ahead of diplomatic talks with top U.S. officials.

The announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has again stoked controversy by suggesting Washington could pursue ownership or control of Greenland, citing strategic interests in the Arctic. European leaders and Greenlandic officials have pushed back strongly against these ideas, emphasising sovereignty and respect for international law.

This standoff places Greenland’s future in the spotlight — as Copenhagen and Nuuk reaffirm their ties, local sentiment remains overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. annexation and supportive of Greenland’s own path forward.
