  • From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is the story.

  • I'm Manvine Rana.

  • In a packed hall at the World Economic Forum,

  • in front of an audience of global leaders waiting with baited breath,

  • President Trump addressed the issue everyone wanted to hear about.

  • Greenland.

  • Big, beautiful piece of ice.

  • It's hard to call it land.

  • It's that big piece of ice.

  • But even here, at Davos, it was clear that Greenland wasn't the only place,

  • or the only ICE, that are preoccupying the president's thoughts.

  • And then ICE gets beat up by stupid people from leadership in Minnesota.

  • We actually are helping Minnesota so much, but they don't appreciate it.

  • Most places too, you know, Washington, D.C.

  • Since the killing of a local woman, Renee Goode,

  • on the 7th of January by an ice agent,

  • thousands of Minnesotans have taken to the streets in protest.

  • You can feel the presence of militarized force in our city that feels dangerous.

  • It feels unpredictable.

  • It feels like a tinderbox.
