Karen, we begin with new tensions in Minneapolis. There's been another shooting in the city a week after an immigration and customs enforcement agent shot and killed a woman and set off nationwide protests. The Department of Homeland Security says one of its officers tried to arrest a man during a targeted traffic stop, but he ran into a parked vehicle and fled on foot.

What happened during the recent officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis?

The officer caught up with him, but then Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says two other people came out of an apartment and started attacking the officer.
Brian O'Hara 0:34
During the struggle, the federal agent discharged his weapon, striking one adult male. The adult male then retreated inside of the residence where he remained inside and refused to come out.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says all three were eventually taken into custody. Both the officer and the man who was shot are in the hospital. DHS says that man is a Venezuelan who entered the U.S. illegally. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is condemning the ongoing enforcement surge in his state. Let's be very, very clear. This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government. Governor Tim Walz delivered a primetime address to Minnesota right around the time of this latest shooting.

We want to turn to U.S. foreign policy now, Nathan, and there's no end to the tensions between the U.S. and Denmark after a high-stakes meeting in Washington over Greenland. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løge Rasmussen says there's still a fundamental disagreement over who gets to control the semi-autonomous territory.
Lars Løge Rasmussen 1:36
For us... Ideas that would not respect territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are, of course, totally unacceptable.
Karen Moscow 1:51
Still, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lange Rasmussen says he's agreed to set up a working group after a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance. Denmark has also announced plans to beef up its military presence in the Arctic. Sweden, Norway and the U.K. are also sending troops to Greenland. And Germany says it'll send more than a dozen personnel to the island to explore their own military contribution.

Turning to the war in Ukraine now, Karen, President Trump faults Ukraine's leader, Vladimir Zelensky, as the main obstacle to an agreement to end the war that Russia launched against his country. In an interview with Reuters, the president described Russian President Vladimir Putin as ready to make a deal. When pressed on what was impeding an agreement, the president replied, Zelensky.
Karen Moscow 2:35
Well, let's get to the latest developments in Iran, Nathan. President Trump is indicating he might hold off on attacking the country. The president says he has been reassured the government in Tehran would stop killing people involved in protests. We get more from Bloomberg Middle East correspondent Jumana Bersetchi.
Jumana Bersetchi 2:52
We don't exactly know who he's spoken to, who's given him those reassurances. And again, as we've been reporting, it's very difficult and challenging to get live information from the ground in Iran because of the communications blackouts. But human rights agencies estimate that the death toll continues to climb and we're sitting closer to something like 3,000 people.
Karen Moscow 3:16
And Bloomberg Middle East correspondent Jumana Bersetchi there. We are seeing an impact on the oil market right now. Crude is falling. NYMEX crude oil and Brent both down more than 4% with NYMEX crude at $59.28 a barrel.
Nathan Hager 3:30
Karen, there are new developments this morning in the Justice Department probe into the Federal Reserve. Bloomberg's John Tucker has been following that and joins us now with the latest. John, good morning. Good morning, Nate. President Trump now insists he does not plan to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. In an interview with Reuters, Trump said, quote, I don't have any plan to do that.
