President Trump announced this morning that he had a productive conversation with Governor Tim Walz.

On Truth Social, he wrote:

Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength. I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Homan call him, and that what we are looking for are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession. The Governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be speaking to him in the near future. He was happy that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota, and so am I! We have had such tremendous SUCCESS in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place that we have “touched” and, even in Minnesota, Crime is way down, but both Governor Walz and I want to make it better! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Following this announcement, WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt laid out a way forward in Minnesota.

And now Governor Walz is putting his own spin on the phone call– a sign that maybe this progress will not last long.
