Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Jeanine Herbst. President Trump is threatening to impose an additional 10% tariff on eight European countries as part of his campaign to get control of Greenland, a Danish territory. And he says if Denmark doesn't sell Greenland to the U.S. the tariffs will go up to 25% in June. Meanwhile, a bipartisan delegation of U.S. lawmakers visited Copenhagen today in a bid to ease tensions. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski urged open and continuing talks. Democratic Senator Chris Coons says there's a way for cooperation.

It was made very clear to us, as it has been repeatedly over the years, that if the United States seeks to invest in partnership respectfully with the people of Greenland in accessing possibly newly available critical minerals or rare earths, that that would be welcome.

Denmark says Greenland isn't for sale, though it says it will let the US Expand its military presence there. Trump insists the US has to control Greenland for its national security. The Justice Department says it's investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry for allegedly impeding ICE agents on social media. Wall says weaponizing the Justice Department against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. This as tensions remain high in Minneapolis with two opposing protests taking place today, one an anti immigration march organized by a pardoned January 6 rioter, which was outnumbered by a nearby counter protest. Meanwhile, a judge says ICE agents can't detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities, including when they're watching agents. This week marked the end of a chaotic and confusing open enrollment period for healthcare.gov as NPR's Selena Simmons Duffin reports, millions have re enrolled in coverage despite much higher premiums this year.

The Latest data shows 22.8 million people picked a plan or auto renewed during open enrollment so far, a 3% drop from the year before. That's despite the fact that premium costs are double on average compared to last year. And Congress hasn't been able to make a deal to bring back enhanced subsidies. Cynthia Cox is with the health research organization kff.

Some people are having this lingering hope that there might be a deal in Congress, but if nothing comes along, then they might not be able to continue to afford their coverage and might drop it.
