And Nathan, the Department of Homeland Security said a Border Patrol agent in Portland, quote, fired a defensive shot at a vehicle after the driver, quote, weaponized it and drove off.
Chapter 2: What happened in the recent shooting involving federal agents in Portland?
Oregon's governor is Tina Kotek.
We are all shaken and outraged by another terrible, unnecessary, violent event instigated by the reckless agenda of the Trump administration.
Portland Police Chief Bob Day told reporters that two people were later taken to a hospital. He did not know their conditions.
We found a male and a female with apparent gunshot wounds. Officers applied a tourniquet and summoned emergency medical personnel.
The Portland shooting occurs a day after an ICE officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. In that shooting, the FBI is taking control over the probe over the objections of Governor Tim Walz. State authorities question whether a federal probe could be trusted, especially given comments by Trump administration officials. but seemed to exonerate the officer in that fatal shooting.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Minnesota doesn't have jurisdiction. Vice President J.D. Vance said the agent who fired the deadly shot is protected by absolute immunity. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
All right, John, thank you. We want to get to breaking news out of the White House. President Trump said he's canceling a planned second wave of strikes on Venezuela.

Chapter 3: How did Oregon's governor respond to the Portland shooting?
President Trump's post comes as he prepares to host nearly 20 U.S. energy executives at the White House today. The president also said he's open to meeting with Venezuela's opposition leader, Maria Carino Machado.
I understand she's coming in next week sometime. And I look forward to saying hello to her. And I've heard that she wants to do that. That would be a great honor.
President Trump spoke there on Fox News. In the Truth Social post, the president said all ships will stay in place around Venezuela for safety and security reasons.
And staying with foreign policy, Karen, the U.S. is reportedly considering paying Greenland's residents up to $100,000 each. That's according to Reuters, which says the payments would be intended to convince Greenland to split from Denmark. Wendy Schiller is a professor of political science at Brown University.
The Republicans are going to have to go home, and they will have to interact with their constituents, even though most people like to avoid town halls now. And they're going to have to explain why U.S. resources are both in Venezuela and possibly going after Greenland, which I think Congress would probably stand up and say, no, you can't use U.S.
money to buy Greenland or even go into Greenland for any length of time.
Brown University's Wendy Schiller, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has said he will meet with Danish officials next week.
Well, we head to the Middle East now, Nathan, where Iran is restricting internet and phone access after thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across the country to protest a cost-of-living crisis. We get more from Bloomberg News Middle East Managing Editor Paul Wallace.
The unrest worsened last night quite significantly. We saw very big crowds in Tehran by all accounts. While information is coming out of Iran, it's very hard to verify at the moment. It does seem that what happened last night was certainly the biggest protests in the capital since this all began in late December.
