## abstract
## 1 In public, President Trump has defended his national security adviser. But behind the scenes, he has been casting around for advice.
## 2 The move added to the list of actions by President Trump that use the powers of his office to weaken perceived enemies.
## 3 One of Greenland’s national pastimes was nearly hijacked this week after the White House said the Second Lady would attend. She didn’t. But a lot of people talked about this as the mushers did their work.
## 4 “Prices are going to shoot up now,” one shopper said. But some dealers said that economic concerns might be keeping people away.
## 5 Aid workers delivered the first shipments of help to Myanmar, but will have to cross a country buckled by the disaster and divided by civil war, arms dealers and drug syndicates.
