European governments have criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 10% tariff on eight countries for opposing American control of Greenland. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, and Finland are on the list. The tariffs are said to be a retaliatory measure against European troops deployed to Greenland following Mr. Trump’s call for Arctic security.

Thousands of people have been observing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers. Government attorneys have argued the officers have been acting within their legal authority to enforce immigration laws and protect themselves.
