News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Monica Ricks. A Ukrainian delegation has arrived in the U.S. for more peace talks to end its war with Russia, even as the Kremlin steps up attacks targeting Ukraine's power grid. Keefe says Russia's weaponizing winter, leaving people in more than 20 settlements without power. The delegation's working to finalize documents now that include recovery and security guarantees from the U.S. Rallies are underway in Denmark and Greenland now to protest President Trump's threats to take over the territory.

Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not as an asset. President Trump says he could impose tariffs against countries that oppose the takeover. The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into whether Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry obstructed federal immigration enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a brief statement on social media last night saying no one is above the law. But both Walz and Fry are pushing back, calling it a bullying tactic. Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison agrees and says the Trump administration is weaponizing the DOJ.

When powerful leaders use it, against people who are just doing their jobs as their voters elected them to do, that's a very sad day in America.

Meantime, a win for protesters in Minneapolis.

Monica Ricks 3:03
Administration officials say they're still discussing terms with industry leaders and Congress, but say it's designed to reduce costs for Americans and aid in affordability challenges. White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett says he's headed to Davos, Switzerland with President Trump next week, where the president set to unveil a plan to ban institutional investors from buying single family homes.
