US Vice President JD Vance has cautioned European leaders to take Donald Trump’s interest in Greenland seriously, particularly concerning missile defense and the potential for Russian and Chinese influence on the island. Trump, after the US military’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, renewed his push for Greenland, and is not opposed to the use of military force. Envoys from Denmark and Greenland have met with US officials to address Trump’s demands, while the UK and its European allies have released a joint statement pledging to defend Greenland’s territorial integrity. Trump desires ownership of Greenland, rather than just using it for military bases as the United States currently does under a 1951 treaty.

A New York judge disqualified a Trump administration federal prosecutor, John Sarcone, from overseeing investigations into New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling he was not lawfully serving as acting U.S. attorney. The judge determined the Department of Justice did not follow the proper statutory procedure after judges declined to extend Sarcone’s tenure. This decision blocks subpoenas requested by Sarcone, who was challenged by James after issuing subpoenas related to her lawsuits against Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association. The ruling is part of a series of judicial actions across the country questioning the legality of Trump administration maneuvers to install top federal prosecutors without Senate confirmation.

The resolution, which signals disapproval of potential military action, is unlikely to become law due to needing approval from the Republican-controlled House and Trump’s signature.
