President Trump says the killing in Iran is stopping. Wednesday at the White House, the President said he just heard on good authority that Iran won't hold executions, presumably of anti-government protesters. Trump would not elaborate on the information or where it came from. The president has warned Iran the U.S. is looking at options, possibly using the military, for intervening in the crackdown on anti-government protests, and stands "ready to help."        Multiple reports say Germany, Sweden and Canada will send troops to Greenland. This comes amid President Trump's threats to take control of the self-governing Danish territory. Before meeting with officials from Denmark and Greenland today, Trump said anything less than U.S. control of Greenland would be "unacceptable."        President Trump is expected to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on Thursday at the White House. Trump's relationship with Machado has become somewhat complicated since the U.S. arrested former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Following that military operation, Trump said Machado "doesn't have the support within, or the respect within, the country," adding, "She's a very nice woman, but she doesn't have the respect."        The astronaut who had to be medically evacuated from the International Space Station is on the way home. The unidentified astronaut and three other crew members undocked from the International Space Station today at 5:20 p.m. Eastern. NASA hasn't revealed what the medical issue was, only saying the crew member is stable.        Articles of impeachment against Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem have been filed by a member of congress. Illinois Democratic Congresswoman Robin Kelly cited the secretary's handling of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. She also alleged Noem denied members of Congress "oversight of ICE detention facilities."        The first trailer has been released for the third season of HBO's "Euphoria." The new season starts after a five year time jump from season two. Season three of "Euphoria" releases on April 12th.
