President Trump says Denmark has failed to adequately prepare for what he calls the Russian threat to Greenland. The President has been pushing for U.S. ownership of the autonomous Danish territory, which has voiced staunch opposition to any U.S. takeover. He says "Now it is time, and it will be done." Trump over the weekend announced new tariffs against European countries that oppose his arctic plans.        The Pentagon is ordering about 15-hundred soldiers to prepare for potential deployment to Minnesota. It comes as anti-ICE protests continue in the state after the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an agent. President Trump has said he may invoke the Insurrection Act as a result of the unrest, however on Friday, he said he may not use it any more.        Two rounds of arctic cold are set to impact millions this week and usher in a disruptive winter storm that could last into the weekend. Monday is expected to be the coldest day for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions while Tuesday will be the coldest day of the week for the Northeast. The cold and snow in the first half of this week is not likely to be record-setting, but the next round of weather shaping up for later this week could be both record-setting and disruptive.        Talks are stalled, picketing continues and there's no end in sight to the biggest nurses' strike in New York City history. It's now the second week of a nurses' walkout at three of the city's largest private hospitals: Mount Sinai, Montefiore and New York Presbyterian. Fifteen-thousand nurses are on strike for a contract guaranteeing their health benefits, better staffing ratios and improved hospital security.        Russian President Vladimir Putin is being invited to join President Trump's "Board of Peace." The board is being formed to implement the U.S.-brokered peace plan between Israel and Hamas, and countries are being asked to pay one billion dollars for membership on the board with funds set to go towards rebuilding the Gaza Strip. A Kremlin spokesperson confirmed receipt of the invitation and said officials "are studying all the details" of the proposal.        The Trump administration's changes to the national parks calendar removes Martin Luther King Jr. Day from the list of free-entry days this year. Out West however, California will offer free entry at more than 200 state parks in honor of MLK Day. The free admission is part of the state's Outdoors For All initiative and is being offered through the California State Parks Foundation.
