'Never expected he will run for Canadian Prime Ministership,' says Indian-origin MP Chandra Arya's father

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a global trade storm by raising tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, accusing Ottawa of failing to curb fentanyl and drug flows into America. Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canada’s efforts, but Trump claimed negotiations fell short. The new rate—up from 25%—comes amid broader tariffs hitting dozens of countries.
Despite the USMCA shielding nearly 90% of Canadian exports, key goods like dairy, wood, and leather may still be taxed. Trump spared Mexico for now but warned that other nations—including Taiwan, India, Laos, and even Switzerland—face harsh levies, some as high as 41%. Critics warn of soaring consumer prices and economic disruption, but the White House insists the tariffs are "rebuilding the greatest economy in history." With global trade talks in limbo and retaliations expected, this marks Trump’s boldest move yet in his battle to reset world commerce.

In a seismic shift in foreign policy, Canada has announced it will formally recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th UN General Assembly session in September 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the move essential to preserve hopes of a two-state solution—calling current efforts "eroded before our eyes." The decision follows similar recognitions by France and the UK, creating a powerful bloc pushing for Palestinian statehood. However, Carney made the recognition conditional—insisting on PA reforms, 2026 elections excluding Hamas, and full demilitarisation. Israel has blasted the decision, calling it a "distorted campaign of international pressure" and warning it legitimises Hamas's October 7 atrocities. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas hailed the move as “historic.” The tension between international recognition and Israeli resistance could reshape global diplomacy on the conflict.

Amid escalating trade hostilities from Trump’s high‑tariff agenda, Canada is forging a bold new path. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly announced Ottawa’s plan to defend jobs and supply chains by intensifying economic diplomacy and forging trade ties beyond the U.S. “While the U.S. becomes weaker,” Joly declared, “we will become stronger.”
With Washington threatening a sweeping 35% tariff starting August 1—and even mooting 50% levies on copper and 200% on pharmaceuticals—Canada is accelerating deals with the EU and diversifying its export strategy. Prime Minister Mark Carney called urgent cabinet and provincial meetings to map out the response and signal unity. Ottawa remains poised not just to withstand the U.S. onslaught but to come out fortified. As global unpredictability grows, Canada is betting big on economic resilience and a multipolar trade future.

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline.
