If President Trump really wants to buy Greenland, he better act fast before it all melts.

The lead starts right now.

After being disinvited, then re-invited, essentially, Democratic Congresswoman Rashida

Taleeb is now saying she will not visit the West Bank, not on Israel's term, she says,

and rattled by the warning signs does President Trump have any new ideas besides throwing shade at the

government of Israel after that country barred the first two Muslim women elected to the US House of

Representatives to make an official visit following pressure from President Trump to

block them.

The Israeli government did allow Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Taleeb, who has relatives

in the West Bank to visit on humanitarian ground, specifically to see her elderly grandmother,

but Taleeb today rejected that offer because she says

Israel told her she could not promote the boycott of Israel while there.

my grandmother potentially for the last time as a political bargaining chip."
