Authored by globalnews.ca

Send this page to someone via email. U.S. President Donald Trump repeated his frequently-voiced desire to acquire Canada and Greenland on Thursday — this time with the leader of NATO sitting next to him.

“I think it will happen,” Trump said when asked by a reporter about the U.S. taking over Greenland during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

Asked about tariffs on Canada, Trump spoke of his grievances with Canadian trade and returned to his call to make Canada the 51st U.S. state.

“If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it, between Canada and the U.S., just a straight artificial line.

Rutte said nothing about the possibility of the U.S. threatening the border of a founding NATO member.

Greenland is a part of Denmark, another NATO ally, but is an autonomous territory with its own government.

Trump has said he wants the NATO defence spending target increased to five per cent of GDP, a level no member — including the U.S. — currently meets. »

I believe that systems work for a long time, that you don’t have to break them,” Walz said. »

The bill passed with a constitutional majority, reflecting a significant step towards aligning Oregon's marriage laws with international human rights standards. »

### Trump asks Supreme Court to allow him to end birthright citizenship

Authored by cnn.com

President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court in a series of emergency appeals Thursday to allow him to move forward with plans to end birthright citizenship, elevating a fringe legal theory that several lower courts have resoundingly rejected.

A landmark Supreme Court precedent from 1898 affirmed that reading of the law, and the modern court hasn’t signaled any desire to revisit that holding.

The Supreme Court is likely to set a briefing schedule that will require those who challenged the Trump administration to respond quickly, potentially within several days. »
