The President of the United States, Donald Trump, avoided commenting this Thursday during the first meeting with his cabinet of 2026 on the crisis open in Minneapolis (Minnesota) due to the death of protester Alex Pretti by shots from immigration agents. Trump, who did not admit questions from the press, focused his appearance on economic issues, the Federal Reserve or Ukraine and did not dedicate any of his interventions to the migratory issue, despite keeping the United States in suspense and being the subject of a great political controversy. He also did not give the floor to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, who is highly questioned for the events in Minnesota and threatened by the Democrats with an impeachment. In Thursday's cabinet meeting, however, some other government members did speak, such as Vice President JD Vance; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick; or Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. This Thursday's cabinet meeting was the first of Trump's second term in which he does not admit questions from the press and does not give the floor to all those present in the meeting. The president justified it because his last meeting lasted 'three hours' and the head of state was criticized for having closed his eyes at some moments. 'Look, it got pretty boring. There are a lot of people,' he insisted to apologize for the lack of questions from the press, which was waiting for a clarification on the political future of Noem.
