Quick look at Thursday's news: |
Icy reception from Greenland curtails visit |
The itinerary has changed. So has the personnel. A major dog-sledding event is out. |
It's not easy to deal with uninvited guests. Just ask Danish and Greenlandic officials. They said a U.S. visit to the Arctic territory this week was not wanted or needed, threatening an icy reception amid President Donald Trump's vow to make Greenland the 51st U.S. state. | Protesters gather in front of the U.S. consulate during a demonstration in Nuuk, Greenland, earlier this month.

ICE detains Tufts University grad student |
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained 30-year-old Turkish national Rumeysa Ozturk, who was in the country on a valid F-1 visa, near her home in Massachusetts on Tuesday. The Tufts University graduate student was on her way to meet friends to break her Ramadan fast, her attorney, Mahsa Khanbabai, told USA TODAY on Wednesday. Ozturk's arrest comes as the Trump administration continues to detain students at institutions across the country over terrorism allegations after they participated in pro-Palestinian protests. Demonstrators decried the reason for Ozturk's detention at a protest later in the day. | Federal agents detained Tufts University graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national who voiced her support for the pro-Palestinian movement.

Maybe double check your budget. Experts say new and used car prices are likely to increase after President Donald Trump on Wednesday imposed 25% tariffs on imported automobiles, barreling forward with a whiplash economic strategy that has rattled markets and ignited a global trade war. Costs to make a vehicle assembled in Canada or Mexico could go up $6,000 or more, experts told USA TODAY, while higher costs for parts could increase production costs for U.S.-made vehicles by roughly $3,000. U.S. stocks tumbled in after-hours trading following the auto announcement. |
Figure skating's past is inspiring its recovery from the DC crash |
It's been nearly two months since a plane collided with a military helicopter as it approached the airport in Washington D.C., killing all people on board. Those who were lost included some of the nation's most promising young skaters. Future Olympic hopefuls. Dedicated parents. Top coaches. America's tight-knit figure skating community has struggled to absorb the blow, which was eerily similar to a 1961 plane crash on the way to that year's world championships that devastated the sport. Now, the skating community converges this week in Boston for the ISU World Figure Skating Championships, where organizers held a tribute on Wednesday with the hope of helping to heal still-raw wounds. | Alysa Liu (USA) competes in the Women's Short Program during the ISU World Figure Skating Championships at TD Garden in Boston on March 26, 2025.
