Thanks, Dana.
That's a long list of territories for us to cover.
Well, the president says that he is looking at some very strong options when it comes to Iran, and then he'll make a determination.
But no decisions have been made yet about...
what the president might do in response to these protests.
President Trump had previously said that if they start shooting, then we'll start shooting.
But it isn't entirely clear at this point what kind of response militarily
or otherwise, that the president may take to these protests.
And while visibility into the situation in Iran has been difficult, and we've been unable to verify this number, the U.S.-based human rights activist news agency says that the death toll is around 500 people.
Well, I think part of the reason that Greenland is coming up so frequently is partially because he's being asked about it, as well as senior officials.
And so in response to that, the U.S.
has repeatedly refused to rule out the military options.
But it says that, you know, it would like to resolve this diplomatically if that's possible.
But just taking a step back for a
brought up this idea of America first and whether or not these things are essentially mutually exclusive with this robust military action he's hinting at here.
And the White House's perspective on this is that you can still be America first and
but also be pursuing U.S.
national security interests as part of that in some of these other countries.
And they say that that was what was at play in Venezuela and then could potentially be at play in some of these other places like Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark.
They've been responding to this with concern and saying that this is a NATO ally.
