Why are European leaders warning the Trump administration about seizing Greenland?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens. European leaders are warning the Trump administration against seizing Greenland. Saying that doing so would threaten the existence of NATO. As Anviras Rob Schmitz reports, the administration says the capture may be needed. To bolster US national security
in a joint statement, the heads of state of countries such as France, Germany, the UK, and Denmark reaffirm support for Arctic security. Reminding the Trump administration that Greenland as a territory of Denmark is part of NATO. And that it is only for Denmark and Greenland to decide on matters concerning Greenland. Danish Prime Minister Meta Frederickson says a US takeover of Greenland would amount to the end of NATO, while Greenland's Prime Minister says Greenland should not worry about a US takeover, saying the mineral-rich territory is nothing like Venezuela, and that it wishes to build ties with the U.S. Rob Schmitz, NPR News.
President Trump says Venezuela will provide thirty to fifty million barrels of oil to the US.
What did President Trump claim about Venezuela’s oil supply to the U.S.?
Officials in Caracas say at least twenty four Venezuelan security officers were killed during the US operation to capture Nicolas Maduro. The ousted leader and his wife are facing narco trafficking and other charges in New York. They've both pleaded not guilty.

Five people died of injuries incurred during the attack, and more than fifteen hundred detainees were granted full or partial pardons. To dedicate it to law enforcement officers who protect it members of the Congress has never been unveiled. Hundreds of National Guard troops are being returned from federal service. They were called into service to support the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. Oregon Public Broadcasting's Conrad Wilson has more.
U.S. Northern Command confirmed 500 Federalized National Guard troops in California, Illinois, and Oregon are being demobilized and will return to their home units. The Guard members were federalized over the objections of all three governors, which led to lawsuits and court orders blocking troop deployments.
Why are federalized National Guard troops being demobilized after the immigration crackdown?
Late last month, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that blocked the Trump administration from deploying troops in Chicago. Dustin Bueller is special counsel to Oregon. It's highly likely that the President cannot use that same statute here. But speaking over the weekend, President Trump once again invoked Portland and didn't rule out using the Insurrection Act to send troops in the future. For M PR News, I'm Conrad Wilson in Portland.
