The Trump administration threatened tariffs against Denmark and the European Union over Greenland, a move European allies called "paradoxical" and "disruptive" [53321]. Denmark vowed it would not be blackmailed [53324], and the European Union readied a $108 billion tariff threat in response [53347]. A U.S. report indicated the administration sought secret intelligence on Greenland while sidestepping the Danish government [53323]. The tariff threat prompted an emergency European summit and caused Republican allies to warn of economic and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) damage [53284, 53310]. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin argued the U.S. must defend Greenland because Europe is "weak" [53356]. The dispute led a British Conservative MP to defect to the rival Reform UK party over a separate sovereignty issue involving the Chagos Islands [53328]. In the Middle East, Iran threatened "all-out war" after what it called a "sick" insult from President Trump and warned of war if its Supreme Leader was attacked [53252, 53266]. A U.S. general publicly urged Iran to "believe Trump's threats" [53263]. Separately, Iraq ordered the full withdrawal of the U.S.-led military coalition from its territory [53255]. Domestically, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary and the Mayor of Minneapolis were scheduled to clash on the television program "Face the Nation" [53300, 53304]. This followed protests in Minnesota where video evidence contradicted official claims that chemical agents were not used on demonstrators [53381]. The U.S. readied 1,500 troops for possible deployment to Minnesota protests [53337]. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was cleared in the killing of a protester, while Minneapolis leaders faced federal probes [53243, 53329]. A federal judge compared modern immigration enforcement tactics to Civil Rights-era abuses [53388]. In a separate legal ruling, a U.S. court overturned convictions of a scholar, stating that urging jihad is protected free speech [53390]. <a href='/news/53243'>Springsteen Slams ICE After Agent Kills Protester</a> <a href='/news/53255'>Iraq Orders Full US-Led Coalition Withdrawal</a> <a href='/news/53252'>Iran Threatens "All-Out War" After Trump's "Sick" Insult</a> <a href='/news/53266'>Trump Assassination Plot?
