Chapter 1: What is the latest news from Minneapolis regarding Border Patrol operations?
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.
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.
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.
Chapter 2: How did the fatal shooting of Alex Preddy affect government funding discussions?
They are not. 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.
That is Cowley Herr, the mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota. 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 DHS funding. Here is Bloomberg's Amy Morris.
The fatal shooting of Alex Preddy by Border Patrol agents on Saturday quickly led to a Senate Democratic revolt against funding the Department of Homeland Security without new safeguards. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt is urging lawmakers to move forward with the spending deal.
Chapter 3: What changes are being made to tariffs on South Korean goods?
The White House supports the bipartisan work that was done to advance the bipartisan appropriations package, and we want to see that passed.
A shutdown would have little practical effect on ICE and the Border Patrol, which has already received massive funding in President Trump's tax bill last year. The deadline for a spending deal is this weekend. In Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.
President Trump said today in a post on Truth Social he is increasing a tariff on some South Korean goods to 25 percent. Here's Bloomberg's Josh Wingrove.
He's essentially ripping up, or at least for now, the deal and saying that's because the Koreans are slow walking it. I should note that there were a lot of question marks, including from what the American position was about this deal. 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.

Chapter 4: What is NVIDIA's recent investment in AI computing capacity?
The Trump's deals aren't necessarily locked in.
That is Bloomberg's Josh Wingrove. 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. 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.
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.
Chapter 5: How are recent winter storms impacting the economy and travel?
NVIDIA makes lots and lots of investments, $2 billion equivalent, and they do it through buying common stock. 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.
That is Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow. Shares in major U.S. insurers fell sharply in late U.S. trading. That was after the government said it would hold payments to private Medicare plans flat next year. Analysts had expected an increase in payments by as much as 6%. Shares in UnitedHealth Group fell 8% in late trading. CVS Health was down 8% and HumanaShares sank 12%.
Chapter 6: What were the details surrounding the private jet crash in Maine?
The heaviest winter storm in years dropped mounds of snow on New York City. Here is Bloomberg's Miles Miller on the economic cost.
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.
That is Bloomberg's Miles Miller. Now, power grids are also under pressure. More than half of the nation's outages were reported in Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said today the UK would not have to choose between the U.S. and China.
As he spoke about significant opportunities for British businesses ahead of Starmer's trip to Beijing this week, Starmer insisted the U.K. could meet President Xi Jinping without angering President Trump. He also said the U.K. could enjoy close relations with the U.S. and business opportunities in China.
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. And that is News When You Want It with Bloomberg News Now.
I'm Doug Krizner, and this is Bloomberg.
