Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump says he won't use military force to try to acquire Greenland. He's also backing down from his threat to impose new tariffs on European nations that oppose his ambitions to take control of the island. This comes after a discussion with the head of NATO, as NPR's Tamara Keith explains.
The NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has been something of a Trump whisperer in this second term, largely by piling on praise. And the two met just hours after Trump's speech. And with cameras rolling, Rutte told Trump it pained him to think that the president doubted NATO's commitment to the U.S., Trump now says they have a concept of a deal, though there was no mention of the U.S.
actually owning Greenland as he had been demanding. He dodged questions about that, simply saying it would be an infinite deal.
NPR's Tamara Keith reporting. President Trump has lately downplayed the possibility of sending military forces to Minnesota. But a military police battalion in North Carolina has been put on alert, as NPR's Quill Lawrence reports.

Chapter 2: What recent statements has President Trump made about Greenland?
official who is not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed to NPR that an Army military police battalion stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has received a prepare-to-deploy order from Minnesota.
That's in addition to the 1,500 soldiers with the Army's 11th Airborne Division in Alaska told last week to ready themselves to support the Trump administration's massive ICE deployment in the Twin Cities. Protests have continued in Minneapolis for two weeks since an ICE agent shot to death Renee Macklin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three.
The Trump administration is not investigating the shooting, but has opened investigations into Democratic Minnesota government officials for allegedly blocking federal immigration enforcement. Quill Lawrence, NPR News.
The House Oversight Committee has approved a resolution to hold former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. The matter now moves to the full House. NPR's Claudia Grisales reports the bipartisan rebuke comes after the couple defied a congressional subpoena tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Committee Republicans said the panel gave the Clintons plenty of time to testify, but some Democrats argued GOP members were rushing to judgment. Democrats were nearly evenly split on the panel, with a majority, nine in all, joining Republicans to hold former President Clinton in contempt.
Eight Democrats voted no, but only three Democrats joined Republicans in a vote to do the same for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Most Democrats argued she was not privy to the same access to Epstein. The Clintons said they've turned over the, quote, little information they have.
The contempt referrals will next go before the full House, which could lead the Justice Department to consider potential prosecution. Claudia Rosales, NPR News.
