On January 24, 2026, multiple videos show federal agents fatally shooting 37‑year‑old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis near West 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue. (theguardian.com) Footage appears to show Pretti filming officers, being pepper‑sprayed and wrestled to the ground before several agents fired multiple shots. (washingtonpost.com) DHS says officers attempted to disarm a man who approached with a 9mm and fired in self‑defense. (theguardian.com) Witnesses, family and open‑source analysts dispute that account, say Pretti held only a phone, note he was a lawful permit‑to‑carry gun owner, and contend video suggests a firearm may have been removed before shots. (theguardian.com) Protests and nationwide demonstrations followed immediately. (theguardian.com)

President Donald Trump was briefed Saturday, January 24, 2026, on a Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis that left a 37 year old man dead during a federal immigration operation. Video circulated showing the man holding a cellphone as agents wrestled with him before officers fired; federal officials say agents acted in self defense and recovered a 9 mm handgun and two magazines. Local leaders including Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz condemned the operation and demanded agents leave, prosecutors and state investigators sought access to the scene. The White House said the president was monitoring situation as investigations continued.

Late January 2026, President Trump questioned NATO’s commitment and claimed allied troops “stayed a little off the front lines” in Afghanistan, comments he reiterated in Davos, sparking international outrage. British prime minister Keir Starmer called the remarks “insulting and frankly appalling,” Prince Harry and veterans denounced the slur, and leaders across NATO demanded an apology. The White House defended Trump’s view that the U.S. contributes more, and, as of January 25, 2026, no formal presidential apology had been issued. The episode deepened transatlantic tensions and prompted renewed debate over burden‑sharing and alliance unity, and raised questions about U.S. global leadership. (tribuneindia.com)
