Today's other headlines, President Trump stepped up his threats about taking over Greenland

today, suggesting that he may place tariffs on countries that don't support U.S. control

of the territory.

Mr. Trump made the comments during an event at the White House today, where he repeated

his claim that the U.S. needs Greenland for national security reasons.

It comes as a bipartisan delegation of U.S. lawmakers were in Copenhagen today.

They met with the leaders of Denmark and Greenland in an effort to, as they put it,

Alaska Republican Lisa Mikowski told reporters the majority of Americans disagree with President Trump.

Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not as an asset.

When you ask the American people whether or not they think it is a good idea for the United States to acquire Greenland,

the vast majority, some 75 percent, will say, we do not think that that is a good

idea.

Murkowski also told reporters there are, quote, tools at our disposal for Congress to rein in

President Trump's ambitions towards Greenland, though he himself has said that anything less than U.S. control is

unacceptable. The U.S. Supreme Court says it will hear an appeal from Bayer to block thousands

of state lawsuits claiming its round-up weed killer causes cancer that could potentially save the

company billions of dollars in damages. Bayer contends that the EPA's approval of the weed

killer without a cancer warning should rule out further lawsuits. Some studies have linked Roundup's

key ingredient to cancer, though the EPA says it's unlikely to be carcinogenic when used as directed.

The court has not yet said when it will hear the case. Virginia lawmakers passed a constitutional amendment today that would allow the legislature to redraw voting maps ahead of this year's midterm elections.

The vote landed along party lines in the Democratic-led state Senate.
