Canada, Denmark reach deal to end dispute over tiny Arctic island
Arctic and is expected to be signed Tuesday, according to a government minister.Dan Vandal, minister of northern affairs, confirmed Monday that there will be an “official signing” of the accord over Hans Island on Tuesday.The barren rock has been the subject of decades of diplomatic disputes between the two nations, as it sits in the territorial waters of both.The agreement is expected to divide the uninhabited island between Ellesmere Island, in Nunavut, and Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory. Canada, 6 other countries leave Arctic Council over Russia’s war in Ukraine Vandal, speaking to reporters on Monday, said he was “looking forward” to the signing of the agreement and would attend the ceremony.He said “discussions have been going on for a long time” and “the important part is that the deal got done and we are going to have the signing tomorrow.”“I think it’s very positive given our world situation today,” he said.The deal is likely to mean that Canada, for the first time, shares a land border with Denmark.The dispute over the small island has led to good-natured jostling since the 1980s between Canada and Denmark over which country rightfully owns it.In 1984, Canada planted a flag on the island and left a bottle of Canadian whisky.Later that year, Denmark’s minister of Greenland affairs visited by helicopter, planting a Danish flag.

High gas prices bring demand for fuel to record lows ahead of peak driving season
LOS ANGELES - Gas prices are so high that demand for fuel during peak driving season this summer is expected to slump, according to experts.According to data by the Energy Information Administration compiled by Bloomberg, demand for gas has hit its lowest level during this time since 2013, excluding the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, high gas prices have brought demand down by 5%.Gas prices have been hitting fresh records for the past 11 consecutive days amid the energy supply crunch in the U.S., according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), which noted that the stretch of record-high prices as the pump is "unprecedented."Speaking with Fox News Digital, Andrew Gross, the national spokesman for AAA Inc. revealed that drivers should expect elevated prices throughout the summer, especially if the war in Ukraine rages on.The national average for a gallon of gas was $4.59 last week, a slight increase from the day before and a new record high.Thursday’s record was 16 cents higher than the week before, nearly 50 cents higher than the month before and $1.55 more compared to the same time last year.All 50 states had a national retail price over $4 a gallon on Thursday, according to AAA, with Oklahoma offering the cheapest gas at $4.03 a gallon and California offering the most expensive gas with an average of $6.06.
