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

U.S. has reversed its stance on the Ukraine war. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. has supported Russia in the United Nations. In fact, three resolutions were brought to the United Nations on Monday, seeking to end the three-year-old conflict. America voted against these resolutions, marking the first time it has taken a position contrary to its European allies on the Russia-Ukraine issue. Specifically, America voted against a resolution proposed by Europe in the United Nations, which condemned Russia's aggression and supported Ukraine's territorial integrity. As a result, significant

More than 170,000 people in Canada have signed a parliamentary petition urging the government to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship. The petition, launched by BC-based author Qualia Reed and sponsored by NDP MP Charlie Angus, is currently being reviewed by the House of Commons.

US President Donald Trump has claimed that he canceled $21 million in funding allocated for India. He suggested that the previous US administration may have used this funding to influence the election of a leader other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India.

He indicated that this funding might have been intended to support another political figure and stated his intention to share further details with India. Meanwhile, In

The Senate on Thursday narrowly voted to confirm Kash Patel as director of the FBI, moving to place him a top the nation's premier federal law enforcement agency despite doubts from Democrats about his qualifications and concerns he will do Donald Trump's bidding and go after the Republican president's adversaries. A Trump loyalist who has fiercely criticized the agency, Patel will inherit an FBI gripped by turmoil as the Justice Department over the past month has forced out a group of senior bureau officials and made a highly unusual demand for the names of thousands of agents who participat

Canada defeated its archrival the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations Face-Off final on Thursday night in what was an emotionally-charged affair for players and fans alike. The rematch between the two sides was intense, although it did not consist of three fights in the opening nine seconds, as the preliminary round game in Montreal did last Saturday, a 3-1 win for the Americans. Connor McDavid scored the game winner, while Nathan MacKinnon and Sam Bennett scored in regulation for Canada. Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson replied for the U.S. The Canadian national anthem was booed l
