Following the loss to India on Sunday, captain Mohammad Rizwan admitted that Pakistan's journey in the ICC Champions Trophy had come to an end. The team's underperformance has led to criticism at home, with questions

U.S. President Donald Trump says economy-wide tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go ahead next week as planned. Trump's comments on Truth Social today come after days of confusing statements from him and his officials. On Wednesday, Trump suggested that the 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs wouldn't land until April 2 — but a White House official later said they could still take effect on March 4. In his post this morning, Trump says "drugs are still pouring" in from Canada and Mexico and unless it is "stopped or seriously limited," the tariffs will go into effect "on MARCH FOURTH." Public

US President Donald Trump has announced the launch of the Gold Card Visa, which will replace the 35-year-old EB-5 visa program. Under the new system, obtaining US citizenship will cost five times more than before. Wealthy foreigners will be able to acquire the Gold Card Visa for $5 million.

U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to hit Canada and Mexico with devastating duties is set to take effect next week but a White House official confirmed on background that the tariff plans could change through negotiations. Trump's executive order to implement 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian imports, with a lower 10 per cent levy on energy, was delayed until March 4 after Canada agreed to introduce new security measures at the border. The president said the pause would allow time to reach a "final economic deal." Trump said Monday that the levies would be going forward on schedule — but
