His presence highlighted the absence of leaders from France, Germany, the UK, and Italy, raising questions about Europe’s long-term commitment after tense security talks in Washington. Carney, joined by defense ministers from Sweden, Denmark, Romania, Lithuania, and Latvia, warned against Putin’s ambitions and emphasized Canada’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s security, peace, and democracy.

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting.

Typhoon Podul slammed into Taiwan’s Taitung County on Wednesday, forcing school and government office closures across nine cities, including Kaohsiung and Tainan. Moving at 36 km/h toward the Taiwan Strait and China, the storm triggered over 380 flight cancellations and the evacuation of more than 5,500 residents from vulnerable areas. Authorities warned of up to 600 mm of rainfall in mountain regions, risking floods and landslides. Hong Kong issued a Signal One warning, while China’s Fujian Province braces for Podul’s impact later this week.

A ferocious rainstorm has brought Hong Kong to a near standstill, prompting the city to issue its highest “black” rainstorm warning. Torrential downpours turned iconic staircases into waterfalls and forced the closure of schools, courts, clinics, and portions of hospitals. Over 10,000 lightning strikes were recorded in just one hour as up to 90mm of rain per hour soaked the city and its surrounding tech hubs in Guangdong.
The airport remained open, but delays plagued flights, and travelers were urged to confirm schedules before leaving home. Macau issued a Red rain alert while Guangdong faced rising riverbanks and deadly flash floods. With four rivers at risk of overflowing and massive infrastructure like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge impacted, regional chaos threatens to intensify. Experts link the escalating deluge to climate change. Amid the chaos, Hong Kong Disneyland surprisingly remained open, continuing its scheduled “Friendtastic! Parade.”
