From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Wednesday, January 21st. Here's what we're covering.
I'm Zolan Kano-Youngs. I'm a White House correspondent. Any minute now, I'll be heading to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. The forum is a gathering of some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful leaders, but all eyes will be on President Trump as he is expected to give a keynote address amid very deep concerns over the future of the transatlantic alliance. What normally would have been a brainstorming session amongst the world's elites has turned into this all-hands emergency effort to de-escalate tension with an emboldened American president.
How is the U.S.-European alliance affected by President Trump's actions?
That's because of President Trump's lashing out at European leaders as well as his threats to take over Greenland. You know, I've been talking to foreign policy analysts who say that this period is different, right? Yes, President Trump is known for disrupting global summits and, you know, brushing aside allies that make up the current global order. But these threats of a takeover of Greenland really have foreign policy analysts questioning this. whether or not the nearly 80-year-old alliance between the U.S. and European nations may be at risk.
Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
Ahead of President Trump's remarks, the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, addressed the rising global tensions in his own speech.
Every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry, that the rules-based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can and the weak must suffer what they must.
While Carney didn't mention Trump by name, he spoke not long after the president posted an AI image on social media showing American flags superimposed over Canada, part of Trump's ongoing jabs that the country should become the 51st U.S. state. In his speech, Carney called on medium-sized countries, like his own, to band together to offset the strength of superpowers like the U.S.
The powerful have their power. but we have something too.
What criticisms are being raised against ICE's tactics in Minnesota?
The capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, and to act together.
We demand more from our federal government. More professionalism, more accountability, more humanity, We demand lawful policing that respects human dignity.
In Minnesota, top police officials are criticizing the tactics being used by federal immigration agents, saying many residents are scared to go outside and that the agents are undermining trust in law enforcement. In a press conference yesterday with two police chiefs and a county sheriff, officials said they knew of American citizens, including at least one off-duty police officer, who'd been pulled over in question. They said they were all people of color.
If it is happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.
While the officials said they are not opposed to immigration enforcement, they accused ICE officers deployed to the region of being too heavy-handed.
Can we please find a way to make sure that we can do these things without scaring the hell out of our community members and freaking everyone out? People are afraid right now, and I get it.
In response, federal officials defended the behavior of immigration agents in Minnesota, saying their actions are legal, ethical and moral. Meanwhile, the Trump administration ramped up its investigation into Democratic officials in Minnesota who have been critical of the aggressive immigration enforcement push there.
