An Edmonton man arrested in a terrorism investigation in the United Kingdom appeared in a London court today.

Khaled Hussein, who is 28, was charged under the Terrorism Act for allegedly being a member of a proscribed organization in the U.K.

He was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport last week.

Hussein is charged alongside a 56-year-old British preacher, Anjem Choudary, who was allegedly directing a terrorist organization and addressing meetings to encourage support for a radical group since June 2022.

Prosecutors say the Edmontonian worked online with Choudary to provide a platform for the views of the radical group al-Muhajiroun.

London Metropolitan Police say both men have been remanded in custody and their next scheduled court appearance on Aug. 4.

Trump 'terminating' trade talks with Canada over digital tax

U-S President Donald Trump says he is immediately ending all trade talks with Canada. The sudden termination is over Canada's plan to go ahead with its digital services tax on big U-S tech companies that do business here. The tax is set to take effect Monday but would be retroactive for the past three years, leaving U-S companies with atwo-billion-dollar U-S bill due at the end of the month. Trump says Washington will notify Canada about new tariff rates within the next week.
