U.S Escalates Global Trade War: Trump Hits Canada With 35% Tariff, Warns Allies of Harsher Measures
U.S Escalates Global Trade War: U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st — warning that the rate will increase if Canada retaliates.
In a fiery letter sent to Canadian PM Mark Carney via social media, Trump doubled down on his protectionist policies, also targeting U.S. allies like Japan and South Korea with blanket tariffs ranging from 15% to 20%.
Copper imports have been hit with a staggering 50% duty.
Global markets are rattled.
Allies are on edge.
Is this the return of full-blown tariff wars?
Or a strategic push to revive American manufacturing?
Russia unleashed one of its biggest aerial assaults of the war, firing over 600 drones and missiles in a single night. A key target: a U.S.-owned Flex electronics plant in Mukachevo, western Ukraine, producing coffee machines and printer cartridges. At least 19 people were injured and the civilian factory suffered massive structural damage.
Speculation erupted online that Russia had deployed its deadly Oreshnik hypersonic missiles, capable of flying at Mach 5+ and evading air defenses. Reports later clarified the facility was struck by cruise missiles — but the fear of escalation lingers.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, calling it not only an assault on Ukraine but also on American interests. The strike comes just days after Donald Trump hosted Vladimir Putin in Alaska, attempting to broker a peace deal. Many see the bombing as Putin’s rejection of diplomacy — and a direct challenge to Washington.

The world is on the brink as Russia unleashes a massive wave of missiles and drones on Ukraine, striking a U.S.-owned factory employing 600 workers and pounding major cities. This shocking assault comes just days after the high-stakes Trump-Putin Alaska meeting, now branded a complete failure. With talks between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky collapsing before they could even begin, fears of World War 3 are spiraling

Russia escalated tensions ahead of a key Trump–Zelensky–Putin tri-meeting by launching a deadly strike on U.S.-owned Flex Ltd. in Ukraine. The attack used a mix of drones, cruise missiles, and advanced Kinzhal hypersonics, overwhelming Ukrainian air defenses. At least 15 were injured as missiles tore through the Flex plant in Mukachevo, forcing 800 night-shift workers into shelters. Analysts warn Putin’s use of unstoppable hypersonic missiles signals a show of force meant to provoke Trump and humiliate Ukraine’s defenses.

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.

A shocking new report reveals Canada has secretly supplied weapons to Israel amid the Gaza conflict, contradicting its stated export freeze. Activist researchers traced at least 13 arms-linked flights from Toronto, many via civilian carriers like Air Canada and Lufthansa. Items shipped included F-35 parts, radar gear, and ammunition. Elbit Systems is identified as a major recipient. The exposé surfaces just as PM Mark Carney announces recognition of Palestine, admitting Israeli settlement expansions have rendered negotiations "no longer tenable."

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.

Tensions between the U.S. and Canada are boiling over as President Donald Trump announces a massive 35% tariff on Canadian imports, set to take effect August 1. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney vows to protect workers and industries, warning of strong retaliation. With Trump linking the tariffs to Canada’s fentanyl response and trade imbalances, Carney dismisses the accusations and pledges to stand firm. Is North America heading toward a full-blown trade war?

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a final nuclear warning to the U.S. and South Korea, accusing their joint military drills of being a “direct threat” to Pyongyang. During a visit to a navy destroyer, Kim called for a rapid expansion of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and accused Washington and Seoul of preparing for war. His sister, Kim Yo Jong, rejected dialogue and slammed South Korea’s reliance on the U.S. With Ulchi Freedom Shield drills underway, tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to mount.

South Korea-US drills trigger Kim Jong-un to pledge nuclear force expansion
Pyongyang has long denounced the allies’ joint drills as invasion rehearsals and Kim has often used them to justify his own military displays and testing activities aimed at expanding his nuclear weapons programme.
