Chapter 2: What is the U.S. Senate's stance on military action in Venezuela?

10.891 - 20.245 Doug Krisner

20.686 - 39.454 Chuck Schumer

Americans tonight are wondering how they're going to pay their bills. And Republicans in the Senate abdicated their responsibility and said, if you want to go to war in South America, go ahead. How does that look?

39.603 - 60.322 Doug Krisner

That was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Now, the legislation was not expected to become law since Trump has said he would veto it. Nonetheless, Vice President J.D. Vance broke a tie and defeated the resolution. The Prime Minister of Greenland has categorically ruled out joining the U.S. He said the Arctic Territory prefers to be in union with Denmark.

Now, his remarks came as diplomats from both Denmark and Greenland met today with U.S. officials. Here is Danish Foreign Minister Lars-Lukas Rasmussen.

Greenland, for the time being and for a foreseeable future, will remain within the kingdom of Denmark. And therefore, this is a common position that we want to work with our American friends and allies, but it must be a respectful cooperation and it must respect the red lines.

90.464 - 95.031 Doug Krisner

For his part, President Trump said he's not going to give up on acquiring Greenland.

95.171 - 103.663 Unknown

If we don't go in, Russia is going to go in and China is going to go in. And there's not a thing that Denmark can do about it, but we can do everything about it.

103.683 - 127.877 Doug Krisner

Meantime, Germany said it will send military personnel to Greenland as European nations respond to those U.S. threats. President Trump said today he had been assured that Iran would stop killing protesters. And Trump said he was informed by very important sources. Also today, we heard from Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arachi. He told Fox News he had heard many kinds of threats from Trump.

127.897 - 141.173 Abbas Arachi

The rhetorics are quite normal in any world. We have many kinds of threats by President Trump, by other American officials, by Europeans who are talking about Iranian things in Iran.

Safety investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board said the planemaker issued a service letter in February of that year notifying MD-11 operators of four past failures on three different planes of a part known as the spherical bearing race. That component helps to relieve high loads and vibrations. In New York, Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio.
