Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. President Trump is threatening to impose an additional 10% tariff on eight European countries as part of his campaign to get control of Greenland, a Danish territory.

And he says if Denmark doesn't sell Greenland to the U.S., the tariffs will go up to 25% in June.

Meanwhile, a bipartisan delegation of U.S. lawmakers visited Copenhagen today in a bid to ease tensions. Republican Senator Lisa

Mikowski urged dialogue, and Democratic Senator Chris Kuhn says there is a way for cooperation.

It was made very clear to us, as it has been repeatedly over the years,

that if the United States seeks to invest in partnership respectfully with the people of Greenland

and accessing possibly newly available critical minerals or rare earths, that that would be welcome.

Denmark's Greenland isn't for sale, though it says it will let the U.S. expand its military

presence there. Trump insists the U.S. has to control Greenland for its national security.

Tensions are high in Minneapolis as dueling protests took place today.

One, an anti-immigration march, organized by a pardon January 6th, the rioter, the other a counter-protest.

This comes as the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and Governor Tim Wals.

And Pierce Katlonsdorf reports.

The DOJ is investigating whether Fry and Waltz, both Democrats, interfered with federal immigration enforcement

during various ice raids taking place across the city and state in recent weeks. The probe

centers on public statements both have made. In a statement on X, Waltz said, quote, weaponizing the

justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. Both leaders have called for calm

in the city. Meanwhile, a federal judge

issued a preliminary injunction restricting federal agents from retaliating against people, quote,

engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity. ICE agents have been using aggressive

tactics against protesters, including flashbangs, tear gas, and pepperballs to disperse crowds.
