Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey, said that if Trump wanted security at his rally on Thursday night, it would cost him over $500k. This is contrary to the $20k that Obama paid for a rally there in the past.
Trump hit him yesterday for the outlandish cost:
Radical Left Dem Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, is doing everything possible to stifle Free Speech despite a record sell-out crowd at the Target Center. Presidents Clinton and Obama paid almost nothing! The Minneapolis Police have been incredible….

Today, according to Fox News, the Trump campaign is now claiming victory after threatening to sue the city:
The Trump Campaign is says that the rally will go on as planned and they will not pay any more than what was already agreed upon.
