What to expect from Trump's Davos speech. And, the DOJ subpoenas Minnesota officials

"When it comes to foreign policy, Trump enjoys taking the world stage and setting the agenda, NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben tells Up First. She adds that, for his second term, Trump is pursuing a belligerent foreign policy that alienates allies and lacks domestic popularity. Kurtzleben says these actions, along with his aggressive tactics in Minnesota, are drawing attention away from the domestic economy, which Trump wants to focus on."

"The Justice Department has issued grand jury subpoenas to multiple government officials in Minnesota, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. The agency is alleging that state officials conspired to impede law enforcement amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Minnesota officials suggest the subpoenas do not faze them, says NPR's Sergio Martinez-Beltran. They say that these actions are an intimidation tactic by the administration that is weaponizing the DOJ."

"President Trump plans to focus on affordability today in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. But his foreign policy specifically, Trump's desire to acquire Greenland and his threats of tariffs on eight European countries if he doesn't get his way are overshadowing the summit. When the president takes the stage, world leaders will be paying close attention to signs of where this confrontation with allies goes next."

President Trump plans to emphasize affordability in his Davos speech, but his confrontational foreign-policy moves dominate attention. His proposals to acquire Greenland and threats of tariffs on eight European countries are overshadowing the summit and prompting scrutiny from other leaders. For his second term, he is pursuing a belligerent foreign policy that alienates allies and lacks domestic popularity. The Justice Department has issued grand jury subpoenas to Minnesota officials, alleging conspiracy to impede law enforcement amid federal immigration enforcement. Minnesota leaders claim the subpoenas are intimidation and accuse ICE of illegal actions that prompted local resistance.
