Donald Trump pulls top Border Patrol commander, other agents out of Minneapolis

Donald Trump is pulling his top Border Patrol official in Minneapolis out of the city, as scrutiny over the administration's actions in the city turns into outrage. Border Patrol commander-at-large Greg Bovino and some of his agents will leave the city today. Instead, White House border tsar Tom Homan will be sent to manage Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city. Greg Bovino has been running ICE operations in Minnesota. (AP) The Atlantic is reporting Bovino is being removed from his wide-ranging role and will return to his previous position in California. He will retire soon, the news magazine said. The White House did not respond to requests for comment. ICE's actions in Minnesota's largest city have been deeply unpopular. A...

Trump says government will ‘de-escalate’ in Minnesota following Pretti shooting

Getty Images President Donald Trump said his administration was "going to de-escalate a little bit" in Minnesota, after the second fatal shooting of a US citizen by federal immigration officers there. "Bottom line, it was terrible. Both of them were terrible," he said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday. In early January Renee Good was fatally shot by an immigration officer, followed by Alex Pretti, who was killed after being stopped by border agents this past weekend. Pretti's death reignited local protests and public outcry across the country, and led to criticism from lawmakers in both parties. Trump's remarks are the latest sign his administration is taking a step back on its operations in Minnesota. On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pulled the Mi...

Donald Trump appears to mix up Greenland and Iceland four times

Donald Trump appeared to repeatedly mistake Iceland for Greenland in his speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland overnight. In his speech, the president referenced Iceland four times in a context that seemed to fit his previous remarks on Greenland.

(AP) "(NATO is) not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. "So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money."

Wall Street cashes in as Donald Trump ‘chickens out’ on Greenland

Donald Trump has retreated on his ambitions for Greenland, instead announcing an unspecified "framework of a future deal" for the island. The US president went into few details about the agreement he had struck with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. "This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. 'Trump always chickens out' is a common expression on Wall Street. (AP) "Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st." The president's apparent retreat is the latest example of what his critics refer to as TACO Trump. The unflattering acronym is short for Trump Always ...

Trump says he ‘won’t use force’ to take control of Greenland, but insists it’s US territory

US President Donald Trump has said he "won't use force" to obtain Greenland, while describing it as "our territory" and calling for an "immediate" return to negotiations – although he refused to name his price for the island. Addressing some of the world's richest and most powerful people at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday (early Thursday AEDT), Trump called on Denmark and NATO to give him "a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection". Trump directly addressed NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte before saying the US would not use "excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly unstoppable".
