"Some media executives are calling the FBI's search of a reporter's home yesterday an alarming intrusion into the freedom of the press. The agency searched Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's house as part of the Trump administration's investigation of a leak. Agents seized two computers and her smartwatch. Last month, Natanson documented the purge of hundreds of thousands of federal employees by relying on over 1,000 sources."
"Denmark's foreign minister, Lars Lkke Rasmussen, says there is still a "fundamental disagreement" between his country and President Trump regarding Denmark's territory island Greenland. After meeting with Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio yesterday, Lkke Rasmussen said Trump clearly wants to "conquer" the territory. However, the two sides did agree to form a working group to continue discussing U.S. security concerns."
"The U.S. seeking to acquire Greenland challenges the rules of international order, specifically the U.N. charter that says a member cannot use force against another country to seize territory, says Stewart Patrick, formerly of the George W. Bush State Department. Denmark has announced plans to build its military presence in Greenland, in what could be considered a pushback at allegations that it can't defend the country, according to NPR's Franco Ord"
The FBI searched Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's home, seizing two computers and her smartwatch during a leak investigation. Natanson documented a purge of hundreds of thousands of federal employees using more than 1,000 sources; officials say she is not the focal point. Media executives called the search an alarming intrusion into press freedom, and NPR said searches of reporters' homes are highly unusual. Denmark and the U.S. remain in fundamental disagreement over Greenland after Danish foreign minister Lars Lkke Rasmussen said President Trump clearly wants to "conquer" the territory, though both sides will form a working group on security. Experts warned attempts to acquire Greenland would violate U.N. rules banning the use of force, and Denmark plans to increase its military presence there.
