What happened
Donald Trump announced plans for territorial dominance over Greenland and Canada. He also used social media to announce a ban on three news outlets: CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. The outlets subsequently sued the Trump administration, arguing the selective ban was a First Amendment violation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the action, stating the president was not closing the outlets.
Why it matters
The president's actions occurred while he also discussed the war with Iran and its impact on oil and gas prices. The administration's discussions regarding U.S. military presence in Greenland and potential international agreements are ongoing.
