The White House has released a list of European Union countries whose citizens are now prohibited from entering the United States, following escalating tensions between Washington and Brussels over the President’s proposal to take control of Greenland.
Tensions continue to escalate in the US
Demonstrations and unrest have spread through several major American cities after the death of 37-year-old mother of three, Renee Good, who was fatally shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross.
The U.S. citizen was killed by three consecutive gunshots fired by the officer, a veteran of more than ten years who had received training from immigration enforcement’s special response unit.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche later confirmed the decision, saying: “The Department of Justice, our civil rights unit, we don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody putting his life in danger. We never do.”
He went on to add: “We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate and that is not the case here.”
Several European nations—including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, which governs Greenland as a semi-autonomous territory—have strongly opposed the plan.
