🇺🇸❌🇨🇦 – Trump said Canada "will be treated like a State no longer" while announcing 50% tariffs on all cars, trucks, automobile parts, and steel. These won't come into force until 2027.

Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years.

Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE!

On January First, 2027, Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Automotive Parts, and Steel, will be increased to 50%.

Build in the U.S. and there are ZERO TARIFFS. Canada will be treated like a State no longer! On Trade, and in other ways, also, they are among the worst Nations in the World to deal with.

They feel entitled, and yet, WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US! They do 95% of their business with the U.S., with us, the exact opposite! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

🇾🇪❌🇸🇦 – The Houthis have claimed responsibility for the strike against the 'Amzan', a Saudi oil tanker. A military spokesperson confirmed it was attacked with a ballistic missile, and that the strike forced other vessels to flee.

The attack took place over 1,000 kilometers from Yemeni borders, showcasing a very high technical knowledge in the use of long-range missiles.

⚡️🇺🇸 – Trump claims in a new Truth Social post that his low polling numbers are a Democrat "demoralization operation" aimed at Republicans.

The Radical Left Democrats are going CRAZY with Fake Polls. They’re putting them out at levels never seen before. They’re called, “Demoralization Operations,” where they try to demoralize Republicans so that they don’t go out and vote — But the actual Polls are tremendous, and the Spirit in our Country has never been higher. We’re winning against EVERYONE, including Iran, whose Country is in Economic and Military Death Spiral. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

🇺🇸🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 – Scott Bessent, U.S. Secretary of Treasury, announced the start of Operation Economic Outcast against Iran and its enablers, aimed at damaging their economies through 'unprecedented' sanctions.

🇺🇸❌🇨🇦 – President Trump published a rant criticizing Doug Ford, Premier of the Ontario province, who has been one of the loudest voices against U.S. tariffs and for retaliating in kind.

He warned Canada should "fall in line" or face far worse consequences, and claimed Canada would be unable to survive without the U.S.

Lots of “bluster” from Doug Ford, who is the Premier of the Canadian Province of Ontario, but who is better known as the less charismatic, intelligent, and overall unimpressive brother of the late, great, Rob Ford.

America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer! The U.S.A. will always be far bigger, richer, and stronger than Canada.

Without the United States, Canada couldn’t survive — It’s where they get all of their money and, because of their current bad leadership, primarily Governor Carney, and his Flunky, Ford, they will not be allowed to keep taking advantage of the United States — Their key to survival.

Remember, much of the Electricity, Oil, and Gas that Canada gets is transported through the U.S.A. Someone should get these clowns to “fall in line” or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!

Canada’s Unemployment Rate is now at 10%, and rapidly rising. Their businesses are fleeing for the United States, and it’s all because of their failed policies, and inept leadership!

The days of ripping off our Farmers, and other Businesses, are OVER! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.

⚡️🇺🇦🇬🇧 – Ukraine opened up its 'Avenger' data repository to the UK, in what the British Defense Ministry called a "goldmine" to protect critical infrastructure across the country.

The data is expected to be used to train AI models capable of identifying approaching soldiers, tanks and armoured vehicles by their sound through buried fiber-optic cables. They would also be able to identify Russian drones and provide early warning to British forces.

The move comes after Andy Burham gave Ukraine access to information that will allow Kyiv to manufacture 'Storm Shadow' cruise missiles.

🇵🇰📞🇮🇷 - Pakistani Army Chief visited Iran on Monday.

🇮🇳📞🇨🇳 - India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval arrived in Beijing on Monday for talks on the countries’ disputed Himalayan border.

Mr. Doval met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice President Han Zheng.

The meeting will set the stage for a potential high-stake visit by President Xi Jinping to India for the BRICS summit in September.

The porous and undelineated border on the Himalaya presents a source of friction between the two Asian giants. The issue last flared up in June 2020 with several skirmishes resulting in dozens of casualties. The India - China relation took a hit and only recovered in the last 2 years.
