The Danish officials requested the meeting with the Secretary of State Marco Rubio after President Trump renewed his push to take over Greenland by military force if necessary. President Trump and his top aides have repeatedly claimed that control of Greenland is a national security issue for the United States. Citing Russian and Chinese activity in the region, he claims that if the U.S.

doesn't take control of the territory, Russia or China will, and that he can't allow that to happen. Greenland's prime minister says the island territory wants to remain with Denmark and will face a geopolitical crisis if it has to choose between the U.S. and Denmark.

This is NPR News. Civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin has died. A family spokesperson says she died Tuesday under hospice care in Texas. She was 86. Colvin was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama for not giving up her bus seat to a white woman months before Rosa Parks did the same thing, as NPR's Debbie Elliott reports.

Claudette Colvin was just 15 years old in March of 1955 when a white bus driver ordered the black teenager to offer her seat to a white woman. She refused. She told NPR in a 2009 interview that she'd paid her bus fare and had a right to her seat.

All I do remember is that I wasn't going to walk off the bus voluntarily.
