    After directing military action in Venezuela, President Donald Trump appears to be eyeing Greenland again. That is challenging Europe’s understanding of its relationship with the U.S., and whether it can respond effectively to Mr. Trump’s demands. Also: today’s stories, including how Iran’s leaders are juggling chronic economic malaise amid dissent; questions over the cost and the political instability that could be caused by the U.S. intervention in Venezuela; and how an influencer’s unverified report on Minnesota fraud sparked White House action. Join the Monitor's Christa Case Bryant for today's news.
