News when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now I'm Monica Ricks. House Speaker Mike Johnson says Greenland is important to the US, but he doesn't foresee military intervention despite President Trump's threats to take total control of the territory.

that used trade measures to pressure policy choices of the EU or its members. Up until now, it's never been used. Whether Trump's tariffs take effect also depends on a pending ruling from the Supreme Court. And Wall Street is looking ahead to Tuesday to hear from those justices.

The high court has gone through two opinion days this year without ruling on President Trump's emergency tariffs. Investors will see whether the third day is the one. The justices have set this Tuesday as their next opinion day. As usual, the high court never says which cases it will decide on until the justices return to the bench. If a tariff ruling doesn't come this week, it could be a while.

The Supreme Court scheduled for a month-long break starting after this Wednesday. In Washington, I'm Nathan Hager, Bloomberg Radio.

The Supreme Court's expected to hear oral arguments on Wednesday and decide whether the president has the authority to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook for cause.

Former Fed Chair Janet Yellen talked to Bloomberg about it, and she says a ruling in Trump's favor would be devastating.

This is just going too far because when a president weaponizes the Department of Justice and uses pretenses to go after enemies, you know, we're not living in a democracy anymore if that's allowed to happen.
