Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski# told reporters the majority of## Americans disagree with President Trump.

SEN.

LISA MURKOWSKI (R-AK): Greenland# needs to be viewed as our ally,## not as an asset.

GEOFF BENNETT: Murkowski also told reporters# there are -- quote -- "tools at our disposal"## for Congress to rein in President# Trump's ambitions towards Greenland,## though, he himself has said that anything# less than U.S.

control is unacceptable.

The U.S.

Supreme Court says it will hear# an appeal from Bayer to block thousands## of state lawsuits claiming its Roundup weed# killer causes cancer.

That could potentially## save the company billions of dollars in# damages.

Bayer contends that the EPA's## approval of the weed killer without a cancer# warning should rule out further lawsuits.

Some studies have linked Roundup's key ingredient# to cancer, though the EPA says it's unlikely to be## carcinogenic when used as directed.

The court# has not yet said when it will hear the case.

Virginia lawmakers passed a constitutional# amendment today that would allow the## legislature to redraw voting maps ahead of# this year's midterm elections.

Before the vote, lawmakers from# both sides laid out their cases.

The Trump administration says it will# delay involuntary student loan collections,## meaning it won't be garnishing people's wages# to claw back federal debts.

In a statement,## the Education Department says the delay# allows them to implement major student loan## repayment reforms to give borrowers# more options to repay their loans.

The department had said it would# notify borrowers this month that## their wages would be garnished.

According# to the Congressional Research Service,## more than 42 million Americans have student# loans totaling more than $1.6 trillion in debt.

In South Korea, a court has sentenced the# country's former President Yoon Suk Yeol## to five years in prison.

He still faces other charges,## including that his actions amounted to rebellion,# for which he could face the death penalty.
