The Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) in Greenland Global markets faltered as fresh tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump reignited fears of a renewed trade clash between Washington and key European partners.

Judge Criticizes Trump Administration Over Venezuela Deportations
A U.S. federal judge has sharply criticized the Trump administration for its handling of deportations involving Venezuelan migrants. The administration's response to a judicial request for detailed information on deportation flights was deemed "woefully insufficient." This comes amid allegations that the administration may have violated a court order temporarily blocking the deportations.
The controversy centers on the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which the administration invoked to expedite the removal of alleged gang members. Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, argue that the law is being misapplied, as it historically pertains to wartime scenarios. The judge has demanded further clarification on the timing and details of the flights, raising concerns about potential constitutional violations if the administration defies judicial decisions.
This case highlights the ongoing tension between the executive and judicial branches, as well as the broader implications for immigration policy and the rule of law. The administration has until next week to provide additional explanations, as the legal battle continues to unfold.
