1. Iran: Trump said, "There is a large fleet sailing towards Iran, acting quickly." Trump also stated that he hopes this move can compel Iran to "return to the negotiation table" to "negotiate a fair and reasonable agreement - a nuclear-free agreement - beneficial to all parties." According to reports, Trump is "considering launching a new major strike against Iran." The options being considered by Trump include airstrikes on Iranian leaders and security officials, as well as attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and government institutions, but a final decision has not been made. Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations stated that Iran is prepared to engage in negotiations, but will defend its own interests if pressured. 2. Greenland: It is reported that Denmark, Greenland, and the United States have begun closed-door talks regarding the issue of Greenland. The Danish Prime Minister stated that there is no agreement on Greenland between NATO and U.S. President Trump, and territorial sovereignty is an "irreducible red line" in resolving the dispute. 3. US Government Shutdown: It is reported that Trump and Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer advanced negotiations on Wednesday evening, aiming to reach an agreement on negotiating new restrictions on federal immigration enforcement officers, which may prevent the US government from shutting down. US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin stated that the future direction cannot be predicted, and he said "Trump hopes that the Democrats will not let the government shut down." 4. Minnesota: Trump stated that federal agencies in Minnesota may "relax a bit" in their law enforcement methods following a series of deadly shootings involving federal law enforcement in Minneapolis, but related actions will continue to be carried out. A US judge temporarily blocked a recent policy announced by the Trump administration targeting around 5,600 legal refugees in Minnesota waiting for green cards. 5. Critical Minerals: Sources said that the Trump administration is stepping back from a plan to guarantee the lowest prices for critical minerals projects in the United States. 6.
