Trump Versus the World
On today's episode of 'Politics Nation', Reverend Al Sharpton discusses preparing to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., feeling hopeful yet weary. He observes that in cities across the country, civil rights are being challenged by the Trump administration's crackdowns, with the Twin Cities currently representing the forefront of this conflict. The Washington Post reports that the president is contemplating sending up to 1,500 soldiers, according to anonymous defense officials. Minnesota has also placed its National Guard on standby following clashes in downtown Minneapolis over the weekend involving right-wing and anti-ICE protesters. Meanwhile, the Trump administration refuses to investigate the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Additionally, the president is set to speak at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where representatives from EU countries—recently hit with tariffs over Greenland—will be present as Trump demands Denmark cede the territory to the U.S.
