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?
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sparked political shockwaves by refusing to sign the EU’s joint statement backing Ukraine, issued just days before the upcoming Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska. The statement, agreed upon by other EU leaders, emphasized that international borders cannot be changed by force and that peace in Ukraine must include Ukraine’s voice. Orban claims the declaration was an attempt to set preconditions for a meeting to which the EU was not invited — further deepening tensions within Europe ahead of a critical geopolitical summit.

Alaska is set to host former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage on August 15 for their first face-to-face meeting since 2022. Locals are divided—some see the summit as historic with the potential to influence the Ukraine war’s outcome, while others fear it could make Alaska a target for attacks. With tensions still high over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, security in Anchorage will be unprecedented as the world’s attention turns to this unlikely meeting location.

The timing of the announcement is being hailed as a major diplomatic win for Islamabad and signals a deepening shift in U.S.-Pakistan ties under Trump’s renewed engagement.

Trump’s aggressive tariff policies are driving key global players toward China and Russia, strengthening BRICS as a united front against U.S. dominance. Leaders from India, Brazil, Russia, and China are deepening economic and strategic ties, defying U.S. pressure and embracing multipolar cooperation. With BRICS expanding and over 30 countries seeking membership, Washington’s trade war may be fueling the very bloc it seeks to counter.

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 Korea has issued a stark warning to the United States and South Korea over their upcoming Ulchi Freedom Shield military drills, calling them a “direct provocation” and a serious threat to stability on the Korean Peninsula. Defense Minister No Kwang Choi, in a statement via state-run KCNA, condemned the large-scale exercise — set for August 18–28 — which will involve live field maneuvers, computer simulations, and civil defense training. He warned of “negative consequences” and vowed that Pyongyang would exercise its “sovereign right” to self-defense if provoked.
While the Combined Forces Command insists the drills are defensive in nature, half of the planned field exercises have been postponed due to extreme weather and to avoid escalating tensions. This comes as both Koreas recently removed propaganda loudspeakers along the DMZ, hinting at fragile attempts to improve relations despite the looming military standoff.
