In an era where the boundaries of national sovereignty and international norms are increasingly tested, we, the founders of LabNews Media LLC, have made the difficult but necessary decision to initiate a phased withdrawal from the United States. This move is not taken lightly; it is a direct response to the aggressive and internationally unlawful policies pursued by President Donald Trump, which we believe undermine global stability, respect for sovereign nations, and the rule of law. As a technology-driven media company committed to ethical innovation and truthful reporting, we can no longer align our operations with a political environment that prioritizes unilateral dominance over collaborative diplomacy.
Our decision stems from a deep concern over policies that flagrantly disregard international law and the principles enshrined in instruments such as the United Nations Charter. President Trump’s renewed rhetoric and actions regarding territorial expansionism—most notably his persistent interest in acquiring Greenland—exemplify this troubling pattern. In 2019, during his first term, Trump publicly expressed a desire to purchase Greenland from Denmark, a proposal that was swiftly and rightly rejected as an affront to Danish sovereignty and Greenlandic self-determination. This was not merely a diplomatic misstep; it echoed colonial-era tactics that violate the right of peoples to self-governance, as protected under Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Fast-forward to 2025 and beyond, and we see an escalation. Reports indicate that the Trump administration has intensified pressure on Denmark through economic levers, trade negotiations, and even veiled threats tied to NATO commitments, all in pursuit of strategic control over Greenland’s vast natural resources and Arctic positioning amid climate change-driven geopolitical shifts. Such actions contravene the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and customary international law, which prohibit coercion in territorial matters. Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, has its own government and indigenous Inuit population whose voices must not be overridden by external powers. Our solidarity with Greenland is unwavering: we stand with its people against any form of neo-imperialism that treats sovereign lands as commodities.
In practical terms, LabNews Media LLC will relocate our technical headquarters to the European Union in the initial phase of this withdrawal. This shift to the EU—a bloc renowned for its commitment to multilateralism, data privacy under the GDPR, and respect for international norms—allows us to maintain operational integrity while fostering innovation in a more stable regulatory environment. Subsequent steps will include divesting U.S.-based assets, rerouting supply chains, and exploring partnerships in regions that prioritize ethical governance. We anticipate completing this multi-stage process over the next 18-24 months, ensuring minimal disruption to our global user base while upholding our core values.
This is more than a business decision; it is a moral imperative. The tech industry, long intertwined with American innovation, must reckon with its role in enabling or tacitly supporting policies that erode global trust. We call upon fellow U.S.-based tech companies—giants like Google, Meta, Amazon, and emerging startups alike—to follow our lead. Relocating operations, even partially, sends a powerful signal that profit cannot come at the expense of principles. History shows that corporate courage can influence policy: recall how tech firms divested from apartheid-era South Africa or sanctioned regimes in Russia post-2022 invasion. By acting collectively, we can pressure for a return to diplomacy that respects international law and averts escalation in sensitive regions like the Arctic.
LabNews Media LLC was founded on the belief that technology and media should serve humanity, not subjugate it. As we embark on this new chapter in the EU, we remain dedicated to delivering unbiased, insightful content worldwide. We invite dialogue from our community and peers as we navigate this transition. Together, let us build a future where innovation thrives in harmony with justice.
In solidarity,
The Founders of LabNews Media LLC
