AXIOS (Avery Lotz) - Trump allies renew Greenland, Canada takeover talk

Greenland remains part of Denmark "for now," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a Wednesday House hearing — a nod to President Trump's repeated threats to take over the allied island. The big picture: Rubio's comment comes after Trump renewed his favored jab at Canada as the "51st State." Those musings reflect the Trump administration's broader assertion of global power that's antagonized friends and foes alike . Driving the news: At a House hearing Wednesday, Rubio was pressed on Trump's assertion that the U.S. needs to control Greenland — a self governing territory that is part of Denmark — in order to properly defend the island. - Trump's "view is that it's a lot easier to defend it when you have control and…

The House on Wednesday passed a resolution to rein in  President Trump's military campaign in Iran. Why it matters: It's Congress' first successful rebuke  of Trump's Iran war effort after multiple Democratic-led war powers attempts failed. - Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), the one Democrat who has consistently voted against Iran war powers resolutions, flipped and voted yes. - Four Republicans — Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) Tom Barrett (R-Mich.) and Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) — voted in support of the measure. - The vote is largely symbolic, as the measure would still need to pass the GOP-controlled Senate — and even then, Trump could just veto it. Catch up quick: Previous efforts to constrain Trump's…
