A severe snowstorm is battering the eastern United States, bringing heavy snowfall and high winds to several states. The storm has caused widespread disruptions, including power outages, flight cancellations, and school closures.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has spoken out about his concerns regarding Greenland's bid for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. He believes that the Norwegian Nobel Committee should focus on awarding the prize to leaders who are actively working towards peace, rather than those who have been nominated based on past achievements or reputation.
Trump's comments on Greenland come as the country faces increasing pressure over its handling of climate change and its treatment of indigenous peoples. The US President has a history of making contentious statements about Greenland, with some critics accusing him of perpetuating negative stereotypes about the Danish territory.
In other news, protests are erupting across several US cities in response to ongoing issues related to police brutality and systemic racism. Demonstrators are calling for greater accountability from law enforcement agencies and an end to what they see as systemic injustices.
These stories come as CBS News continues to provide live coverage of the severe weather event affecting the eastern United States. The latest updates can be found on our website and social media channels, including a live video feed that is now available.

. I mean, who cares if it's nominated based on past achievements or reputation? It's all about recognizing the country's efforts to maintain peace and stability in the Arctic region. And let's be real, who hasn't been a little salty about Trump's comments on climate change and Greenland in the past? He's just trying to stir up some controversy to get attention 
. As for the protests going on across US cities, I think they're overreacting big time 
. Police brutality is definitely a serious issue, but do we really need more riots and destruction? Can't we just have a calm and respectful conversation about how to fix it? And btw, why are people still waiting for justice in the US system? It's taking forever 
.
and I'm like "greenland's got nothing to worry about"... just kidding 
, kinda serious though. Trump's comments on Greenland are wild - who does he think he is, a Nobel expert? 
. And on a separate note, those protests in US cities are really bringing up some serious issues - police brutality and systemic racism need to be addressed ASAP 
. Can't we all just get along (and have stable internet connections) 
?
. It's like the whole region is getting a big ol' blanket of white 
. But on a more serious note, can we say "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"? 
I mean, come on, he's just trying to keep it real, you know? He's not being racist or anything, he's just saying what he thinks needs to be said. The Nobel Committee should focus on people who can actually do something for peace, not just some old politician with a good reputation.
Police brutality is a real issue and we need to talk about it. But Trump isn't the one causing all the problems, he's just trying to weigh in on the conversation. And let's be real, his comments might not be perfect, but they're coming from a place of good intentions... 
! She's reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty of a good blizzard. And can you believe all the snow? It's like she's blanketing the whole eastern US in a layer of fresh, clean powder 
The fact that they're even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize is just amazing. And let's be real, it's about time someone gave them some recognition for all the progress they've made in addressing climate change and indigenous rights. It's like Trump is trying to rain on their parade 
️.
. And speaking of which, these protests across US cities are just another reminder that we all need to come together and make a difference 
!
. Can't we just get some real progress around here?!
. And now protests everywhere... it's like, I get why people are upset, but can't they all just calm down for a second? 
The news is just piling up and I'm not sure how much more of this I can take... 
I mean, doesn't anyone get a break? Trump saying stuff about Greenland... isn't that just kinda weird? And, umm, protests in the US cities... I don't know what to think. Can we talk about something else? Did you know there's this new ice cream flavor at the store near me and it's like, super yummy 
!
. And while we're talking about peace, can't help but think about those protests in US cities... police brutality and systemic racism are issues that need to be addressed ASAP 
. Don't know if Trump's comments on Greenland will make a difference or just stir up more drama 
. Anyway, hope everyone in the snow-battered eastern states stays safe 
.
I mean, one minute it's snowing like crazy on the east coast, and the next, people are protesting in cities across the country about systemic racism and police brutality 
. It feels like everything is moving so fast right now, and we're just trying to keep up with the news 
. I do think it's really interesting that Trump is speaking out about Greenland's Nobel Peace Prize nomination - I mean, who knew he was paying attention to that? 
.
. and here's this snowstorm, just a physical manifestation of the turmoil that's goin' on in our world. it makes me wonder, what's gonna get us through these tough times? is it just about adaptin' to the weather, or do we need to find ways to address the roots of the problems? 
snowstorms are never fun, especially when they cause power outages and flights to get cancelled 
and on social media everyone can stay updated on the latest news 
. And now, with these protests erupting across the country, it's like they're trying to stir up more chaos 
...
. But seriously, folks, let's hope everyone stays safe and warm out there 
.
