News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Doug Krisner. And we begin in Minneapolis, where a senior Border Patrol commander and some agents are reportedly expected to leave the city as early as Tuesday. The departure of Commander Greg Bovino comes as President Trump dispatched Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to take charge of ICE operations.

56.342 - 69.087 Doug Krisner

Now, Homan will be meeting with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye tomorrow. as the unrest continues following the shooting death of Alex Preddy. The mayor of St. Paul, Cowley Herr, spoke to Bloomberg's balance of power.

69.421 - 84.361 Cowley Herr

Alex was not at a protest. It was a morning in which he just happened to be in a space in which he saw activity and he wanted to go and document. I think that it is dangerous when we say that just because people are gathering or they exist is that they are protesting. They are not.

84.761 - 97.538 Cowley Herr

They know that their neighbors have been taken off the streets, that people are being ripped out of their homes forcibly, that people are having children and families ripped apart. And so when our neighbors see each other hurting and impacted, we show up.

97.518 - 116.387 Doug Krisner

That is Cowley Herr, the mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota. Now, the situation in Minneapolis is impacting the passage of an appropriations bill. Democrats are moving toward a potential government shutdown over the bill's inclusion of funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Here is Bloomberg's Eric Wasson.

Chapter 2: What recent events led to Commander Greg Bovino's departure from Minneapolis?

169.412 - 184.41 Josh Wingrove

We still, for instance, don't know what the shipbuilding cooperation will look like. And so this is another case for countries that are looking at this, including the EU and the UK that had their deals and then saw the Greenland tariff threat come in. The Trump's deals aren't necessarily locked in.

184.39 - 205.892 Doug Krisner

That is Bloomberg's Josh Wingrove. Now, the government in Seoul says it did not receive an official notice on the tariff from the Trump administration. We go to business news next. NVIDIA has announced an additional $2 billion investment in CoreWeave. Now, the funding is aimed at speeding up an effort to add more than 5 gigawatts of AI computing capacity by 2030.

206.052 - 220.894 Doug Krisner

However, the investment has sparked concern about circular financing. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang pushed back and said the investments represent confidence in the growth and business models of the companies. Here is Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow.

221.212 - 239.968 Ed Ludlow

So to NVIDIA's mind, $2 billion is not a lot of money in the grand scheme of what CoreWeave is going to have to go to the capital markets to raise. NVIDIA makes lots and lots of investments, $2 billion equivalent, and they do it through buying common stock.

240.128 - 249.697 Ed Ludlow

His evidence is that that's completely normal for them and so widespread across the AI stack is their investments that it's not circular, particularly when those don't include quid pro quos.

249.717 - 259.116 Doug Krisner

That is Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow. The heaviest winter storm in years dropped mounds of snow on New York City. Here is Bloomberg's Miles Miller on the economic cost.

259.417 - 288.934 Miles Miller

We know that more than 3,000 flights were canceled Monday following roughly 11,600 canceled on Sunday, the most since the COVID-19 pandemic. Natural gas futures surged above $6.30 per BTU, the highest since December 2022. Insurance claims average 15,400 normally around storms like this for water damage and freezing, with some exceeding $30,000.

288.914 - 306.536 Doug Krisner

That is Bloomberg's Miles Miller. Now, power grids are also under pressure as a deep freeze now sets in following the storm. The grid operator PJM Interconnection issued an emergency for Tuesday and warned demand will exceed 147 gigawatts. That's an all-time high for winter.

306.837 - 329.547 Doug Krisner

Six people are presumed dead after a private jet crashed during takeoff at Bangor International Airport in Maine Sunday evening. The cause of this crash is under investigation. It occurred as the winter storm was affecting the area and federal investigators were initially unable to reach the crash site due to the weather. India and the European Union are set to announce a trade deal.
