Trump SLAPS 35% Import Tariff On Canada, Citing Ottawa’s Failure To Curb Fentanyl Flow Into U.S [Video]

Trump SLAPS 35% Import Tariff On Canada, Citing Ottawa’s Failure To Curb Fentanyl Flow Into U.S

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. #TrumpTariffs #CanadaTradeWar #USCanadaTensions #35PercentTariff #GlobalTradeCrisis #DrugPolicy #USMCA #TrumpNews #FentanylCrisis #MexicoTrade #IndiaTariff #TaiwanSanctions #Laos40PercentTariff #TradeDeficit #TrumpTradePolicy #MarkCarney #WhiteHouseOrders #EconomicShockwave #TrumpVsWorld #TradeWar2025 ~GR.125~HT.408~

$825 Million Arms For Ukraine! Trump’s BIGGEST Revenge Against Russia Yet? | Ukraine War Latest [Video]

$825 Million Arms For Ukraine! Trump’s BIGGEST Revenge Against Russia Yet? | Ukraine War Latest

The United States has approved an $825 million arms package for Ukraine, marking its hardest response yet to Russia’s brutal strike on Kyiv that killed 19 civilians, including four children. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, includes 3,350 extended-range missiles, GPS systems, spare parts, and training support. Funding will be shared between NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, alongside U.S. foreign financing. Officials declared the sale a vital step to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while signaling Washington’s resolve against Moscow’s escalating war. The move follows two July deals totaling over $650 million in aid, covering armored vehicles, air defense, and artillery support. With peace talks collapsing after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, this deal underscores a shift from negotiations to hard power. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Putin “breaks every promise” and only responds with missiles, as the U.S. arms Kyiv for a long and dangerous war. #Trump #Ukraine #Putin #KyivAttack #ArmsSale #UkraineWar #Russia #Missiles #Zelensky #NATO #DefenseDeal #WarEscalation #EuropeCrisis #MilitaryAid #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UkraineRussiaWar #GlobalConflict #PeaceTalksCollapse #WeaponsSale ~HT.318~ED.194~

Trump’s New Greenland Plot Revealed! Demark Accuses Trump Of Planning To Seizing Greenland [Video]

Trump’s New Greenland Plot Revealed! Demark Accuses Trump Of Planning To Seizing Greenland

Denmark has summoned the US envoy after explosive reports claimed individuals linked to Donald Trump secretly pushed for a secessionist movement in Greenland. According to Denmark’s national broadcaster, operatives tied to Trump tried to infiltrate Greenlandic society, recruit locals, and stir anti-Denmark sentiment to push the Arctic island closer to Washington. One alleged operative even compiled lists of critics and potential pro-Trump supporters in Greenland, while others forged links with politicians and business leaders. Denmark, which rules Greenland as a self-governing territory, called the reported interference “unacceptable” and “very serious.” The revelation revives tensions dating back to 2019 when Trump openly offered to buy Greenland, claiming it was vital for US security. Copenhagen strongly rejected that idea. Now, with accusations of a covert CIA-backed operation, relations between Denmark and the US face one of their most dramatic tests in decades. #Trump #Greenland #Denmark #CIA #USPolitics #BreakingNews #GreenlandSecession #DonaldTrump #Geopolitics #DenmarkNews #USNews #CIAOperation #Arctic #TrumpControversy #MetteFrederiksen #LarsLokke #TrumpGreenland #DenmarkUS #GreenlandCrisis #WorldNews
