Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. The Justice Department has issued grand jury subpoenas to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, expanding the agency's probe, alleging that Minnesota officials conspired to impede law enforcement amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. NPR has not yet confirmed reports that other state and local leaders have also been issued subpoenas for. Fry accused the federal government of weaponizing its power to intimidate local leaders. President Trump argues the country's doing well on his watch, often highlighting his administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. Trump just wrapped up a lengthy White House press briefing where he checked off a list of accomplishments in his first year back in office. Many of the reporters questions focus on Trump's upcoming trip to Davos for the World Economic Forum, where he will encounter European leaders firmly opposed to his plan to acquire Greenland. He was asked what he would do if the consequence of his plan was the breakup of NATO. Trump kept it optimistic.

I think that we will work something out where NATO is going to be very happy and where we're going to be very happy, but we need it for security purposes. We need it for national security and even world security. It's very important.

Wall street had largely shrugged off President Trump's dramatic and ongoing trade war in recent months. The the Dow is up about 10% since his second inauguration one year ago. But now Trump has threatened to impose more tariffs on goods from eight NATO countries in Europe unless those countries bow to his demand that the US Take over Greenland. The move could prompt retaliatory tariffs on US Goods and is rattling investors around the world. Stocks fell, the dollar weakened, and treasury yields rose. All are signs of what's known as the Sell America trade. When investors worry about the underlying strength of the United States and its standing around the world. Maria Aspen, NPR News, New York.
