Chapter 2: What new tariffs did President Trump announce and why?
President Trump says he'll put new tariffs on European countries. As NPR's Maura Liason reports, it's part of his pressure campaign to get control of Greenland.
In a social media post, Trump says he will put 10% tariffs on Denmark, which currently includes Greenland. He will also tariff seven other countries, including France, Germany, and the U.K. All are members of NATO who are supporting Denmark's refusal to sell Greenland to the U.S., Trump has not ruled out using military force to take over Greenland.
Trump says if Denmark doesn't sell Greenland to the U.S., the tariffs will go up to 25% on June 1st. Denmark says it's willing to let the U.S. expand its military presence in Greenland, but it insists Greenland is not for sale. Mara Liason, NPR News.
Homeland Security says there are more than 2,000 ICE agents on the ground in Minneapolis this weekend in what officials describe as a surge in immigration enforcement. Protests against those efforts have been occurring there almost daily, but on Saturday, there was a different protest underway.
A far-right anti-immigration activist planned an event in downtown Minneapolis. It was very small. There were maybe a few hundred people out there letting this activist know he was not welcome. But overall, small turnout, partly because days before this event, community chats and neighbors, groups were telling each other, do not show up to this. Don't take the bait.
That's NPR's Jasmine Garst, who's in Minneapolis, but Judge, meanwhile, ruled Friday that ICE agents cannot detain or use tear gas on peaceful protesters who are not obstructing authorities. This week marked the end of a chaotic and confusing open enrollment period for healthcare.gov.
As NPR's Selina Simmons-Duffin reports, millions of people have re-enrolled in coverage despite much higher premiums this year.
The latest data shows 22.8 million people picked a plan or auto-renewed during open enrollment so far, a 3% drop from the year before. That's despite the fact that premium costs are double on average compared to last year, and Congress hasn't been able to make a deal to bring back enhanced subsidies. Cynthia Cox is with the health research organization KFF.
Some people are having this lingering hope that there might be a deal in Congress, but if nothing comes along... then they might not be able to continue to afford their coverage and might drop it. Bipartisan talks in the Senate have slowed, but Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska hasn't given up. I don't think it is too late to salvage something.
