Summary

Is Greenland our next Alaska? Interior Secretary Doug Burgum joins the Rundown to explain why President Trump is eyeing the Danish territory as an essential "bookend" for North American security. He explains parallels to the purchase of Alaska and how the Arctic could be becoming the next major battleground for global powers like Russia and China. A high-stakes showdown at the Supreme Court is pitting the White House against the Federal Reserve. Fed Governor Lisa Cook is fighting to keep her seat, asking the High Court to block the Trump administration’s efforts to remove her following allegations of mortgage fraud. This comes as President Trump renews criticism of the Federal Reserve and pushes to reshape its leadership ahead of a new chair appointment later this year. FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu joins the Rundown to break down the legal battle and how it could redefine Fed independence forever. Hu also discusses the legal challenges to President Trump’s tariff authority. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Joe Concha. Learn more about your ad choices.
