Former US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he held a phone conversation with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, describing the discussion as positive and cooperative amid rising tensions linked to federal immigration enforcement operations in the state.

In a public statement, Trump said the call focused on working together to improve security in Minnesota.

He noted that both sides appeared aligned in their approach and agreed on the importance of addressing criminal activity while coordinating closely with state authorities.
