Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Oman says the next round of talks between the U.S. and Iran over its nuclear program will take place this week in Geneva. The talks Thursday are aimed at averting what Iran has warned could spark a regional war if the U.S. attacks. President Trump has been pushing for concessions from Iran, and he's built up the largest U.S. military presence in the Middle East in decades. But it's still not clear if he'll follow through on his threats to attack Iran. NPR's Mara Liason has more.
In the past, Trump has shown that he prefers military actions that you could call one and done. A quick bombing raid on Iran's nuclear facilities or a quick raid into Venezuela to nab Nicolas Maduro. We don't know if he has the stomach for a long protracted fight. And if he wants to change the regime in Iran, that's what it would entail.
NPR's Mara Liason reporting. The Greenlandic prime minister has rejected President Trump's offer to send a hospital ship to the country. Terry Schultz reports Trump announced the ship's deployment on Truth Social, alleging there are, quote, many people who are sick and not being taken care of in Greenland.
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen says his answer is no thank you to President Trump's intention to send a US hospital ship to the semi-autonomous Danish island.
What recent developments are there in U.S.-Iran nuclear talks?
Nielsen explains in a Facebook post that a fundamental part of society in Greenland is that there is a public health service where treatment is freely available to all citizens. He adds that Greenlanders are always open to dialogue and cooperation, but he suggests a conversation rather than what he termed a more or less random outburst on social media. It's not clear if Trump's post saying the hospital ship is on its way was sparked by the medical evacuation of a U.S. service member from a submarine to a hospital in the Greenlandic capital on Saturday. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz.
Millions are in the path of a dangerous winter storm that's forecast to bring blizzard-like conditions across the Northeast. NPR's Shondalee Stuster has more.
Blizzard warnings are in effect along the East Coast, including for New York City through Monday afternoon. National Weather Service meteorologist Cody Snell said during a briefing Sunday that there could be at least 18 inches to two feet of snow up through Massachusetts.
That's where we're going to see the major impacts from snowfall with this system. That includes heavy snowfall rates, which is going to reduce visibility and accumulate on roads very quickly.
Emergencies have been declared in multiple states, including Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. A travel ban has also been issued in New York City. All bridges, highways, and streets in the city will be closed to traffic Sunday night through noon Monday. Officials are warning those in a storm's path to stay inside. Shondalese Duster, NPR News.
And officials say power outages are also possible. U.S. futures contracts are trading lower at this hour. Dow futures down about two-tenths of a percent. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. The U.S. men's hockey team has won their first Olympic gold medal in 46 years with a thrilling 2-1 overtime win against Canada. It was the Americans' third gold medal of all time and their first medal since the Miracle on Ice. NPR's Becky Sullivan has more.
This was the first Olympics in more than a decade with NHL players, and with two rivals squaring off for gold, it was a tense, thrilling, fast-paced game. The Americans struck first when six minutes in, Matt Boldy chipped the puck to himself as he fought through a pair of Canadian defenders and found the net. That was it for the Americans in regulation. The rest was a white-knuckled, terrifying ride as the Canadians pressed with chance after chance.
