About this listen

With President Donald Trump adamant that the U.S. must acquire Greenland, Europe is at a crossroads. The economic tools it has to dissuade Mr. Trump are strong, but slow to roll out. And if Europe does push back, it risks injuring itself, too. Also: today’s stories, including how five Central Asian nations that all rely on water from regional glaciers appear set to move past bickering and instead share a negotiated usage; how the Trump administration’s cuts and changes to the federal workforce have forced groups to reckon with new norms for outstanding public service; and how Mr. Trump’s focus on Greenland has shaken the NATO alliance and put the entire world on notice. Join the Monitor's Christa Case Bryant for today's news.
