Trump meets with Noem amid backlash over Minneapolis shooting incident

US President Donald Trump held a two-hour meeting with Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota on Tuesday, amid growing scrutiny over the administration’s response to the recent shooting in Minneapolis.

According to sources, the meeting took place at the White House and lasted for approximately 120 minutes. The details of the discussion are not publicly available.

Governor Noem has been facing criticism from some lawmakers and advocacy groups following the shooting, which left one person dead and several others injured. Some have called for her resignation or disciplinary action, while others have defended her handling of the situation.

The White House has declined to comment on the specifics of the meeting between Trump and Noem. However, it is clear that the administration is grappling with the fallout from the shooting and is seeking ways to address concerns about its response.

Separately, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that its Border Patrol chief, Brian Bovino, has been removed from his position following an incident in which a Border Patrol agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 26-year-old man who was attempting to cross the border.
