prime minister described it as completely wrong.

Public mood among ordinary people also appears increasingly hostile.

At an NBA game held in London on Sunday, the crowd cheered as the U.S.

national anthem was disrupted by a heckler.

As tensions rise, Macrao says Europe remains eager to de-escalate without giving up its red line on Greenland's autonomy in what is set to be a crucial week for diplomacy and for the people of Greenland.

It's been exactly one year since Trump's inauguration, and some recent polls suggest his party could face some big challenges at the upcoming midterms.

A recent CNN poll found that Democrats had a five-point advantage against Republicans on a generic ballot, with that number expanding among registered voters who said they were deeply motivated to vote.

A Wall Street Journal poll, meanwhile, found that those surveyed increasingly bore negative views of the current state of the economy.

And many surveys have found voter negativity toward the idea of the U.S.

annexing Greenland.

The president's party often loses seats in the midterms.

But what's unusual this year is the pressure and tactics that President Trump has employed ahead of these elections to help his party retain power.

Patrick Morley is a national reporter with The Washington Post.

He and his colleague examine the many different ways that this is happening, from Trump's campaign to get states to redraw their maps to favor Republicans, to demands to end mail-in voting, and attempts to end the use of voting machines.

In a statement to The Post, the White House characterized all of these efforts as a way to ensure all votes are counted and criticized the way that Democratic-run states maintain their voter rolls.

Now, in terms of the feasibility of any of these campaigns, some are more likely than others to result in real changes before the midterms.

Redistricting, for example, has been taken up by a number of Republican-led states and could yield additional seats for the party as long as changes in Democratic-led states don't fully cancel that out.

But on the issue of voting machines or mail-in voting, that is largely the purview of states that administer elections.

And the use of both is popular and standard by Democrats and Republicans.

States have also pushed back against an unprecedented request from the administration to provide a list of registered voters.
