US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine.

Donald Trump, addressing supporters with fiery rhetoric, called for a “revolution of winning” and “common sense,” declaring that the U.S. must reinvent itself and reclaim global respect. In a nostalgic yet defiant tone, Trump slammed the last four years as an “aberration,” accusing leaders of incompetence and allowing America to be mocked and exploited. Echoing revolutionary imagery on the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord, Trump framed the 2024 movement as a return to national strength and pride—igniting his campaign with dramatic calls for revival and reform.

Two major Trump-era legal battles are converging: a challenge to sweeping tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and a Supreme Court showdown over the legality of nationwide injunctions. The outcomes could drastically reshape judicial oversight of presidential power and alter the economic landscape. While small businesses fight back in the Court of International Trade, the Supreme Court’s ruling could fragment enforcement, creating unfair trade advantages. With the economy hanging in the balance, this legal clash may define the trajectory of Trump’s second term — and the future of executive authority.

Canadian MP Jamil Jivani has asked U.S Vice President JD Vance to not to come to Canada as the relations between the 2 neighbours deteriorate following Trump’s anti-Canada rhetoric and ‘51st state’ jibe. This marks a u-turn from Jivani’s earlier open invite to his law school friend Vance to open Canada. Jivani said that Trump’ anti-Canada rhetoric was problematic and that his country deserves more respect before a visit by any high-ranking U.S. official is allowed.

US President Donald Trump has announced sweeping secondary sanctions targeting nations buying Iranian oil or petrochemicals. Any business dealing with Iran’s energy sector now risks losing access to US markets. The move escalates pressure amid faltering nuclear talks and rising tensions in the Middle East. Trump’s administration accuses Tehran of fueling regional conflict and violating past nuclear accords. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also warned of military consequences. Talks have stalled after three rounds, while Iran insists it won’t be coerced into an unfair deal.

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.
