That's after more than a week of unrest over violent encounters between federal immigration agents and protesters.

President Trump is set to meet today with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Iran may have reverted U.S. strikes by pledging not to execute protesters following pressure from President Trump. As Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall reports, the president says he's heard that promise from sources on the other side.
Tyler Kendall 2:58
The potential for military strikes still remains on the table, though his comments, combined with a top Iranian official pledging not to carry out executions, has appeared to narrow the potential that a U.S. attack is imminent just one day after President Trump urged Iranians to continue protesting and said that help was on the way.

Troops from NATO countries, including France and Germany, are arriving in Greenland. That's after talks in Washington among Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. highlighted disagreements over the Arctic island's future. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook has more.
