Leaders at the World Economic Forum urged countries and businesses to filter out the turmoil from a week of clashes with the Trump administration and focus on boosting growth and fighting inequality. The global economy is showing unexpected resilience despite the noise. But while growth is holding up, troubles like worrisome levels of government debt and inequality loom. That resilience is holding up despite disruptions from US trade policy under President Donald Trump and his threats to impose tariffs on countries supporting Greenland against a US takeover bid, then withdrew the tariff proposal.

President Donald Trump has taken the unusual step of thanking the Iranian government for not following through on executions of what he said was meant to be hundreds of political prisoners. Trump said Friday that he “greatly respected” the move. The sentiment seemed to back away from Trump’s recent suggestions that the U.S. might strike Iran militarily if its government triggered mass killings during widespread protests that swept that country but now have quieted. Several Middle Eastern allies of the U.S. had urged the Trump administration to hold off on striking, fearing such action would destabilize an already volatile region and the global economy.
Minnesota and the Twin Cities are suing the federal government to stop surge by federal immigration authorities. The lawsuit was filed Monday and seeks a temporary restraining order against the operation. The filing comes after a Minneapolis woman was fatally shot by an ICE officer. The Department of Homeland Security has deployed over 2,000 officers to Minnesota, making more than 2,000 arrests since last month. ICE calls it their largest enforcement operation ever. The lawsuit says the operation violates federal law by being arbitrary, as similar actions aren't happening in other states. The Trump administration says the surge targets fraud.
