WASHINGTON — Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Saturday night that his country would respond to President Donald Trump's decision to enact a 25% tariff on Canadian exports to the U.S. by implementing a 25% tariff against $155 billion in U.S. goods.

Trudeau's comments came just hours after Trump signed an executive order implementing tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico and China. Trump's order implemented a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada — excluding Canadian energy products, which would face a 10% tariff. He also implemented an additional 10% tariff on imports from China.

"Trudeau's leadership has faced significant challenges in the wake of the COVID crisis, leading to a loss of confidence among Canadians from various backgrounds. Key issues such as housing affordability, the rising cost of living and high levels of immigration contributed to widespread disillusionment. This growing frustration led to Trudeau's own Liberal supporters to start calling for his resignation.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's abrupt resignation on Dec. 16 further complicated Trudeau's political landscape and threw his Liberal Party into disarray, reviving calls for him to step down."

I was spending the evening with a group and someone stole all my stuff, so I went to see who had security cameras pointing outside to find out who the thief was. The next day, the prime minister of Spain appeared and said he was sure who it had been and took a bunch of people and the offender to a church to make him confess by brute force.

V-For-Victory

I am led to believe that when Churchill first used his V-For Victory hand gesture he did so with knuckle-side out, unaware that this two finger salute had rude meanings to the working man.

I am not sure this is true. My grandfather once told me that Sir Winston knew nearly as many rude words as Prince Philip!

President Donald Trump had a "fiery" phone call with Denmark's Prime Minister last week, putting the NATO ally into "crisis mode," the Financial Times reported, citing officials briefed on the matter.

European officials told the FT the call did not go well and that Trump was aggressive and confrontational with his Danish counterpart.

Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment Friday afternoon via email. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's office said it "does not recognise the interpretation of the conversation given by anonymous sources" and pointed Newsweek to Frederiksen's official press release detailing the phone call.

NETANYAHU ISSUES FOUR DEMANDS FOR AN AGREEMENT, UNDERMINING NEGOTIATIONS

The occupation media is reporting that Zionist Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has announced a set of four demands that must be met before any agreement with the Hamas resistance movement can take place for a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal, directly undermining negotiations even as Hamas has finally relented on its position that the Israeli entity must agree to withdraw all troops from the Gaza Strip, and agree to a permanent cessation of hostilities.

The first among the Prime Minister's demands declares that any proposal must "allow for Israel to return and fight until all the goals of the war [genocide] are achieved."

Secondly, any potential deal must not allow for the smuggling of weapons from Egypt into Gaza," and thirdly, it also mustn't allow for "the return of thousands of armed terrorists to the north of the Gaza Strip."

The final demand states that the Zionist entity "will maximize the number of live abductees that are released from Hamas captivity."

The statement ends by delcaring, "The plan that has been agreed to by Israel and which has been welcomed by President Biden will allow Israel to return hostages without infringing on the other objectives of the war," and thoroughly undermining the potential for his negotiating team to make concessions.

The Israeli security establishment and mediators were furious with Netanyahu's statements. Anonymous officials quickly lined up to occupation media outlets to vent their anger, with one official stating to Israeli Channel-12 that "Netanyahu pretends that he wants a deal, but is working to torpedo it."

“He’s dragging out the process, trying to stretch time until his speech in Congress [on July 24] and then the [Knesset] recess," the official continued, adding that there was "no enthusiasm or drive" on the part of the Prime Minister to get a deal worked out for the hostage's freedom, showing no urgency in the task, but are instead built on "smears and radicalized positions."

Another source raised doubts about Netanyahu's seeming desire to "emphasize the gaps," in negotiations "just before the departure of the delegation" to come to an agreement.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid also questioned Netanyahu's intentions, slamming the Prime Minister by saying "I have one response to the announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office: What is it good for? We are at a critical moment in the negotiations, the lives of the hostages depend on it; why issue such provocative messages?” Lapid asked of the Prime Minister, “How does it contribute to the process?”
