More than one million Canadians visited New York City last year, injecting hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy. Now, they are canceling trips in droves. Often, the reason cited is President Trump’s escalating hostility toward Canada and repeated threats to make it the 51st state.

Absolutely! Trump’s actions were predictable, given his malevolent nature & fondness for autocrats in his previous term. Europe must step up in development funding and defence.
The EU must take the US’ withdrawal as leader of the free world as an opportunity to step into that role: to fund where USAID retreats, to hire talent, to boost its industry and defense, to step up and reinvigorate democratic leadership. Bring people along in this future vision

The death of former deputy prime minister John Prescott took Westminster’s focus off the war in Ukraine for at least a few minutes.
But war is still happening … and Russia is accusing the UK of getting “directly involved.”
