U.S. military personnel have been placed on standby as protests continue outside an immigration detention center in Minneapolis. The demonstrators are opposing the planned deportation of over 100 Somali nationals.
In a separate development, European leaders have sharply criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump. This comes after reports that he threatened to impose tariffs on Europe if Danish leaders did not discuss selling Greenland to the United States during his term.
