The killing in Iran is stopping according to President Trump. Today at the White House, the President said he just heard on good authority that Iran won't hold executions, presumably of anti-government protesters. 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."        A ruling on President Trump's global tariffs has still not been handed down by the Supreme Court. The justices issued opinions today but didn't issue a ruling related to the tariffs and the next announcement day is currently not known. On Monday, Trump said "we're screwed" if the high court rules against the tariffs.        Countries including Germany, Sweden and Canada will reportedly 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."        Stocks are down to end the day on Wall Street. It comes as Tech names like Broadcom, Nvidia and Micron Technology all suffered losses. Elsewhere, investors digested latest retail sales numbers from the Commerce Department, which showed sales rose point-six-percent in November which is up sharply from October's downwardly revised point-one-percent decline. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 42 points to 49-149. The S&P 500 fell 37 points to 69-26. The Nasdaq dropped 238 points to 23-471.        The Trump administration is bringing whole milk back to schools. At the White House today, the President signed a bipartisan bill that reversed Obama-era restrictions to allow schools to offer whole and two-percent milk. The Obama rules restricted students to fat-free or low-fat milk.        Ariana Grande is returning to the stage next year. She will star alongside her "Wicked" co-star Jonathan Bailey in a revival of "Sunday in the Park with George." The play is set to premiere on London's West End in summer 2027.
