Trump postpones Mexico and Canada tariffs to negotiate border security measures
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has agreed to pause his threatened tariffs on Mexico and Canada for 30 days after both countries agreed to take steps to strengthen their border security and clamp down on drug trafficking.The pauses provide a cool-down period after a tumultuous few days that put North America on the cusp of a trade war that could have crushed economic growth, caused prices to soar and ended two of the United States' most critical partnerships."Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted Monday afternoon on X, saying that his government would name a fentanyl czar, list Mexican cartels as terrorist groups and launch a "Canada-US Joint Strike Force to combat organised...

Turmoil as Trump and Musk take aim at top US aid agency
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration reportedly intends to merge the US government's main overseas aid agency with the state department, as workers were asked to stay out of its Washington headquarters on Monday.Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters he was now the acting head of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the agency that distributes billions of dollars in aid around the world.Democratic lawmakers have called it an "illegal, unconstitutional" move that would hurt poor people abroad, harm national security and reduce US influence on the global stage.President Donald Trump and one of his top advisers, billionaire Elon Musk, have been strongly critical of the agency.Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump alleged...

Canadian fans boo US anthem as tariffs spur 'buy local' pledge
TORONTO — A few hours after President Donald Trump announced that he would impose steep tariffs on Canada, hockey fans in the capital Ottawa booed the Star-Spangled Banner during a National Hockey League game against a visiting US team.On Sunday, during a National Basketball Association game between the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Clippers, it happened again, continuing throughout the song and almost drowning out the 15-year-old's singer's arena performance.The vocal displeasure from usually respectful fans is a clear sign of Canadians' deep dismay at Trump's move to hit its nearest ally with punitive taxes, which threaten to spark an unprecedented trade war on the North American continent.The 25% tariffs imposed by Trump on all Canadian imports into the US - with...

Rubio demands Panama 'reduce China influence' over canal
PANAMA — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has demanded that Panama make "immediate changes" to what he calls the "influence and control" of China over the Panama Canal.America's top diplomat said Panama must act or the US would take necessary measures to protect its rights under a treaty between the two countries.The warning follows President Donald Trump's vow to retake the canal and a meeting between Rubio and Jose Raul Mulino, Panama's conservative president, in Panama City on Sunday.The two men appeared to emerge from their two-hour meeting with different interpretations.Mulino told reporters he did not see a serious threat of US military force to seize the canal, saying he had proposed technical-level talks with the US to address Trump's concerns...

Migrant workers in Canada exposed to ‘shocking abuse and discrimination,’ Amnesty says
ONTARIO — Migrant workers in Canada have been exposed to “shocking abuse and discrimination” while working under the country’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), according to a new report by Amnesty International.In the report published Thursday, Amnesty criticized the structure of Canada’s TFWP, which allows employers to hire migrant workers for primarily low-paid jobs across sectors including agriculture, food processing, construction, and hospitality.The human rights organization said laborers were vulnerable to abuse through “harmful provisions” in the program, including closed work permits that tie workers to a single employer who controls both their migration status and labor conditions.Amnesty interviewed 44 migrant workers from 14 countries for the report,...

Combative Trump blames diversity policies after air tragedy
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump stood before the White House press room cameras on Thursday to perform a traditional presidential duty – consoler-in-chief during a time of tragedy.He said the country was in mourning, shared his condolences during "an hour of anguish" and paid tribute to first responders and the victims.Then he sharply pivoted — providing yet another reminder of how his new presidency is going to be very different.It will be combative. It will be unscripted. And it will be quick to point the finger of blame."We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas," he said.He then speculated that lowered standards of hiring for air traffic controllers in the Federal Aviation Administration during the Joe Biden and Barack...
