U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says America’s relations with Europe remain strong. Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he urged trading partners to “take a deep breath” and let tensions driven by the Trump administration’s new tariff threats over Greenland “play out.” “I think our relations have never been closer,” he said. On Saturday, Trump announced a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations that have rallied around Denmark in the wake of his stepped up calls for the United States to take over the semi-autonomous territory of Greenland. Trump has insisted the U.S. needs the territory for security reasons against possible threats from China and Russia.

The deadly train wreck in southern Spain has cast a pall over one of the nation’s symbols of success. Spain leads Europe and is only second to China in the entire world in mileage of high-speed rail lines. The country's investment to link its distant cities across the Iberian Peninsula with fast trains boosted its economy and became a source of pride. Officials don't know the cause of the wreck between the trains that collided Sunday. And the first deadly accident on its high-speed rail lines has put a blight on one of the crown jewels of contemporary Spain.

Federal immigration agents have detained a U.S. citizen in Minnesota at gunpoint without a warrant. That's according to ChongLy “Scott” Thao, who says agents forced open his door, entered with guns drawn and led him outside in his underwear in freezing conditions. The detention is part of a larger surge of federal agents in the Twin Cities, leading to backlash over warrantless arrests and aggressive tactics. The Department of Homeland Security says the operation targeted two sex offenders. Thao disputes this, saying he lives with his family, none of whom are listed as offenders. Thao plans to file a civil rights lawsuit.

Black landowners from a Georgia island community founded by freed slaves are fighting their latest property dispute with local officials at the ballot box. Voters in coastal McIntosh County were deciding a referendum Tuesday that seeks to override county commissioner's 2023 decision to double the size of homes allowed in Sapelo Island's tiny Hogg Hummock community. Only a few dozen Black residents remain in the Gullah-Geechee community established after the Civil War. Some families in recent years have sold land to wealthy outsiders, raising concerns that larger homes and rising property values will pressure more Black landowners to sell. Regardless of the referendum's outcome, officials are considering recalculating island property values for the first time since 2012.

On the anniversary of his inauguration, President Donald Trump is heading to the World Economic Forum in Davos, an annual gathering of the global elite. He plans to use a key address there Wednesday to lay out his plans to make housing more affordable. The Swiss mountain town, where ski chalets go for $4.4 million, is a strange backdrop for the speech. But Trump — who has spent a lot of time surrounded by billionaires during his first year back in the White House — is counting on wealthy business leaders to create economic growth. However, headlines about Trump’s push to acquire Greenland threaten to overshadow his proposals.

The death toll from suspected gang attacks on Guatemalan police has risen to 10, as Guatemalans saw heavier security in the streets and curtailed rights after Congress approved President Bernardo Arévalo’s emergency declaration. The violence began Saturday when inmates took control of three prisons, demanding privileges. Suspected gang members then attacked police across the capital. National Civil Police Director David Custodio Boteo said several officers are critically wounded. The government has limited rights, including freedom of action and demonstrations. The U.S. Embassy advised caution for its personnel. Schools were suspended nationwide Monday as a safety precaution.

Fernando Mendoza bulldozed his way into the end zone and Indiana bullied its way into the history books Monday night. The Hoosiers toppled Miami 27-21 to put the finishing touch on a rags-to-riches story, an undefeated season and the national title. The Heisman Trophy winner finished with 186 yards passing, but it was his tackle-breaking, sprawled-out 12-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-4 with 9:18 left that defined this game. Mendoza’s TD gave turnaround artist Curt Cignetti’s team a 10-point lead — barely enough breathing room to hold off a frenzied charge by the hard-hitting Hurricanes.

A new study finds that warming temperatures are causing Antarctic penguins to breed earlier, threatening some species with extinction by century's end. Researchers found that three penguin species are starting their reproductive process about two weeks earlier than a decade ago. This shift could lead to food shortages for young chicks. The study, published in the Journal of Animal Ecology, highlights that the Adelie and chinstrap penguins, which rely on krill, are struggling. Meanwhile, the more adaptable gentoo penguins are thriving. The penguins' breeding ground warmed by more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit in a decade.

Tobias Harris scored 25 points and Jaylen Brown missed a jumper just before the buzzer, allowing the Detroit Pistons to hold on for a 104-103 win over the Boston Celtics in a matchup of teams with the best records in the Eastern Conference. Jalen Duren scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds, Cade Cunningham had 16 points and 14 assists and Duncan Robinson added 15 points for the Central Division-leading Pistons.

The Miami Dolphins hired former Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as their head coach on Monday. The moved ends a swift search for a coach who will be tasked with turning around a losing franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game in 25 years. Hafley replaces Mike McDaniel, who was fired earlier this month after going 35-33 in four seasons. The Dolphins also fired longtime general manager Chris Grier during the season. Hafley met with the Dolphins for a second interview earlier Monday before he was offered the job. He will rejoin new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan in Miami.

Italian designer Valentino Garavani was known for his glamorous gowns and signature “Valentino red,” which were fashion show staples for nearly half a century. On Monday his foundation announced he had died. This is a photo gallery curated by AP…

The aurora could be visible across Canada and much of the northern U.S. following a major disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field. That's according to a Monday forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center, which says the northern lights may even be visible farther south. The center's service coordinator says this comes amid intense geomagnetic and solar radiation storms.

A federal judge has refused to temporarily block the Trump administration from enforcing a new policy requiring members of Congress to give a week’s notice before they can visit immigration detention facilities. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb concluded that the Department of Homeland Security didn’t violate an earlier court order when it reimposed a seven-day notice requirement for congressional oversight visits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Cobb said she wasn’t ruling on whether the new policy passes legal muster. Rather, she said, plaintiffs’ attorneys representing several Democratic members of Congress used the wrong procedural vehicle to challenge it.

The death toll from a massive fire at a shopping plaza in Karachi has risen to 23. Rescuers recovered more bodies from the damaged building on Monday. Firefighters extinguished the blaze late Sunday, nearly 24 hours after it erupted. Authorities fear the death toll will rise as 46 people remain missing. Only six bodies have been identified so far. The rest will need DNA testing. The fire spread quickly through shops storing cosmetics, garments, and plastic goods. The cause of the blaze is not yet known, and an investigation is underway.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 21 points and 17 rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a three-game losing streak, holding off the Atlanta Hawks 112-110 after squandering a 23-point lead in the second half. The Hawks led 105-104 on Jalen Johnson’s 3-pointer before dropping their fourth in a row in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day game. Bobby Portis hit a 3, Johnson turned the ball over and Antetokounmpo powered inside for a basket that made it 109-105 with 36 seconds to go. The Hawks still had a chance, but CJ McCollum missed a chance to tie before the buzzer. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 32 points.
