J.P. Morgan econs on Trump’s latest are “increasingly concerned that the policy mix may tilt into an unintentionally far less business-friendly stance. The sustained 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico set to start this weekend is materially different than the tariff increases built into our baseline.”

UK: Nigel Farage's right-wing Reform UK (REFORM~NI) has reached 26% in the most recent Find Out Now poll, the party's highest poll result since June 2019, when it was known as the Brexit Party.
This is also the first time the party has led in a poll in the same period.

Possible eruption.
It's glacier so it'll be very explosive and volatile.
Lots of gases and air pollution.
It won't be as bad for flights as Eyjafjallajökull.
If it will erupt. There will be disruption in flight.
The amount of pollution depends on lava composition.
