Karen, we begin in Washington where President Donald Trump has carried out an annual tradition. The president sat down for a wide-ranging interview ahead of the Super Bowl with NBC News, and the discussion covered an array of topics, including the situation in Minneapolis after the deaths of two Americans by federal agents. President Trump says immigration enforcement in the city needs a softer touch.
Look, I'm not happy with the two incidents. It's not, you know, it's both of them. Not one or the other. He was not an angel, and she was not an angel. You know, you look at some tapes from back, but still, I'm not happy with what happened there. Nobody could be happy, and Ice wasn't happy either.
President Trump says he personally decided to pull 700 agents from Minnesota yesterday. That still leaves about 2,000 federal agencies, agents in the Twin Cities area. A Quinnipiac University poll shows 50 or 63 percent of voters disapprove of the way ICE is enforcing immigration laws, though 77 percent of Republicans approve. 61 percent think the Trump administration has not given an honest account of Alex Preddy's shooting.
Well, Nathan, President Trump also discussed geopolitics in the NBC News interview. The president had a message for Iran's supreme leader ahead of indirect talks with the country tomorrow.
I would say he should be very worried, yeah, he should be. As you know, they're negotiating with us.
And President Trump has threatened military action against Iran if it does not reach a deal on its nuclear program. The White House says both sides still plan to meet in Oman tomorrow. President Trump also touched on his hour-long call yesterday with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He said they covered a lot of topics and that it's important that both leaders have a good relationship.
Karen, the Federal Reserve also came up in President Trump's interview. NBC's Tom Lamas asked if interest rate policy weighed on the president's decision to replace Chair Jay Powell with former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.
I mean, if he came in and said, I want to raise him. If he said that, he wouldn't have gotten the job. He would not have gotten the job, no.
