Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. European Union leaders say they'll defend international law in their territory that comes in response to President Trump's new threats against Denmark, Greenland and other EU countries. He says he'll place a 10 percent tariff on goods from those countries that oppose his effort to take control of Greenland.
Chapter 2: What are the EU leaders' responses to Trump's tariffs?
Terry Schultz reports.
EU Council President Antonio Costa was asked to respond to Trump's attempt to impose tariffs on Denmark and those countries which have come to its aid. Costa didn't mention Trump or the U.S., but said he wanted to send a very clear message to the whole world.
The European Union will always be very firm in defending international law wherever it may be, he said, and of course, starting within the territory of the EU member states. He says he's coordinating a joint response. The EU is responsible for the trade relationships of all its member states, and measures cannot be imposed on countries individually.

Tensions remain high in Minneapolis following last week's killing of Renee Macklin Good by a federal agent. And as NPR's Sarah Ventry reports, Minnesotans are still making their messages heard.
A demonstration was organized by right-wing activist Jake Lang, who was part of the January 6th Capitol insurrection and later pardoned by President Trump. Videos show Lang being chased away by counter-protesters who took to the streets.
Despite the freezing cold, you should be proud of yourselves. You should go home and look in the mirror and know that if you were alive in the 60s, that you'd be on the streets with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Be proud of yourselves.
These demonstrations come as the city is on edge following the Trump administration's deployment of around 2,500 agents in the area, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Additionally, the Department of Justice is now investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry. Sarah Ventry, NPR News, Minneapolis.
Uganda's president has been declared the winner of that country's latest presidential elections that extends his 40-year grip on power.

NPR's Emmanuel Akinwatu has our reports.
