What are the latest developments regarding President Trump's Greenland acquisition demand?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. President Trump will leave today for Switzerland to attend the World Economic Forum. He's demanding that he be able to acquire Greenland. European Parliament members say they plan to respond with tough economic measures against the U.S.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports Trump has also revealed private messages from the French president and the head of NATO overnight.
President Trump published messages from President Emmanuel Macron and Secretary General Mark Rutte on Truth Social last Both leaders reached out to commend his accomplishments but questioned his Greenland logic. Trump has also threatened additional tariffs on eight European and NATO nations who showed solidarity with Greenland. European Parliament member Nathalie Loiseau says it's unacceptable.
He doesn't use the Atlantic alliance to make us stronger against adversaries like Russia. He uses the alliance to try to pressure us in order to grab territory in Europe.
She says the EU parliament is preparing a tariff package of $100 billion on American goods if Trump continues to pursue Greenland. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.

The GOP-led House Oversight Committee is expected to meet Wednesday to approve the criminal contempt charges. Those charges will then go before the full House floor for a vote. This comes after months of talks between the Clintons and the panel. The committee set deposition times for the Clintons this month as part of their investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case.
But the Clintons said they would not show, saying they've turned over the, quote, little information they have. They also noted that the panel has not pursued contempt charges for any other subpoenaed witnesses. The Clintons maintain the subpoena is legally invalid and part of a GOP-led political vendetta against Democrats. Claudia Rosales, NPR News.
