President Donald Trump has vowed to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian goods should Ottawa strike a new trade deal with Beijing, after Canada agreed to slash duties on Chinese electric vehicles earlier this month. Trump made the threat from his Truth Social account on Saturday, taking a jab at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who he dubbed a “governor” – likely a reference to his previous suggestion to make Canada the next US state. “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the USA,” the president...

The Donald Trump administration hopes to execute a regime change in Cuba by the end of 2026, according to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal. The report comes just weeks after the US military kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on dubious drug charges. The newspaper said Washington is now “searching for Cuban government insiders who can help cut a deal to push out the Communist regime by the end of the year,” with senior US officials holding regular meetings with Cuban exiles and pressure groups in recent months. The administration believes the Cuban government is more...

The Canadian military has developed a theoretical model for how it would combat an American invasion, envisioning mujahideen-style insurgency tactics and other forms of unconventional warfare, according to the Globe and Mail. While Canadian officials told the outlet that such a scenario is “unlikely,” the move reflects growing tensions between the two neighbors, with President Donald Trump having repeatedly floated the idea of making Canada the 51st US state. On Monday, he shared an edited photo depicting both Canada and Greenland as American territories. “The Canadian Armed Forces have...

President Donald Trump made an about-face on Britain’s plans to hand over the Diego Garcia atoll to the nation of Mauritius, calling the move “an act of total weakness.” He had previously endorsed the deal, but now says it’s just another reason Washington must take control of Greenland. Trump took to his Truth Social account to blast the UK’s Diego Garcia agreement early on Tuesday morning, insisting the decision would only benefit Moscow and Beijing. “Shockingly, our ‘brilliant’ NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital...

President Donald Trump declined to rule out the use of force to take control of Greenland, soon after several European allies dispatched troops to the territory in an apparent warning to Washington. Asked by NBC News whether he would use military force to seize Greenland during a brief interview on Monday, the US leader simply replied “No comment.” He previously hinted at a military option, saying last week that the United States would take the territory “one way or another.” Further ratcheting up tensions over the issue, Trump additionally said he no longer felt “an obligation to think...

President Donald Trump has announced a 10% tariff on eight European countries that have objected to his efforts to “purchase” Greenland, insisting that Washington must control the territory for the sake of “world peace.” Announced on Saturday, Trump said the “strong measures” will target Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom, adding that they would take effect on February 1. He vowed to ramp up the tariffs further in the coming months should those states continue to oppose US control of Greenland – a Danish territory since the 18th century....
