Colombia is pushing for a binding global minerals treaty to tackle mining harms through supply-chain traceability.
But resistance at UNEA-7 watered the proposal down to a nonbinding resolution — leaving traceability out as NGOs and some states vow to keep fighting for stronger rules.

To understand what's going down at WaPo, this information is essential. The tech bros brought Trump to power, and the are exploiting their hold on the administration to accumulate wealth in an obscene fashion. The last thing they want is a newspaper running exposés that mess things up.

Petulant little orange man learning he will never outshine a PhD drops more bogus threats….
Trump one week ago: "It's a good thing for him [Carney] to sign a trade deal. If he can get a deal with China, he should do that."
Trump today: "If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A."

Is this the most dangerous, and unhinged, international speech by a US president ever? Demands Greenland (and Iceland). Threatens Canada. Trashes NATO. Makes fun of leaders. Disparages Europe's environmental goals.

Trump on Canada: They should be grateful also, but they’re not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn’t so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the U.S. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.

Canada needs to get in on this in a robust way, and show support for Greenland, Denmark, and other northern European allies, for two important reasons: 1) It's the right thing to do. 2) We could very well be next.
Sweden’s Prime Minister, in a new statement on Greenland:
“We will not let ourselves be blackmailed… Sweden is now having intensive discussions with other EU countries, Norway, and the United Kingdom for a coordinated response.”

New from me: Trump's invasion of Venezuela and threats against Greenland are forcing a reckoning for the international community. For Canada, it forces us to ask the question: Are Mark Carney's "Canada Strong" policies actually up to the task of protecting Canadian independence?

The US invasion of Venezuela and threats against Greenland are forcing world leaders to get real about the US threat to the international order. Here in Canada, it's highlighting how Mark Carney's Canada Strong policies aren't up to the task of protecting Canadian sovereignty.
