What he struggled with?

I want to ask you this next question.

I want to ask what you thought about

And how you felt when you heard Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem call Alex Preddy a domestic terrorist or top White House aide Stephen Miller call him a would-be assassin?

A lot of people...

around the country, around the world, are learning about Alex today over the course of the last few days.

What do you want people to know about him?

It can take a lot of time to...

to work through all the feelings that you feel in a situation like this when you lose a friend.

But I'm wondering over the last few days, is there one memory or one moment of time you spent with him that you're thinking a lot about?

Heather Zielinski, thank you so much for talking to us and sharing your memories of your friend Alex Preddy.

President Trump told a gathering of world leaders that, for now at least, he won't take Greenland using military force.

That was in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum.

Trump later said, in fact, he had met with NATO's secretary general and has, quote, a framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland.

So a transatlantic crisis that threatened the very existence of NATO is perhaps on pause.
