The USA President intends to apply reciprocal tariffs this 2nd April

In his joint address to American Congress early March 2025, Donald Trump revealed the plan to enforce reciprocal tariffs on April 2nd (he originally wanted it on April 1st but superstitiously tried to avoid the April Fool’ day).  “The European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico and Canada and countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them. It's very unfair”. After reciprocal tariffs kick in, “whatever they tax us, we will tax them”, he stated.

American President proved to be serious about Panama Canal recover, probably on Greenland buy, but not Canada annex

In his fifth speech to Congress on Tuesday night 4th March 2025 (the first in his new term), Donald Trump underscored the determination to reclaim the Panama Canal. “We've already started doing it […] The Canal is the most expensive project that was ever built in our country's history if you bring it up to modern-day costs. It was given away by the Carter Administration for $1 but that agreement has been violated very severely. We didn't give it to China, we gave it to Panama. We're taking it back”, he stated confidently.

Donald Trump to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada to pressure their tightening the control of out-migration to the US

American President-elect Donald Trump announced to sign Executive Orders on his first day at office 20th Jan 2025 to "charge Mexico and Canada a 25% tariff on all products coming to the US", which will remain effective until drug and illegal aliens from these two countries stop flooding into the US. There are reports of a caravan of thousands Mexican immigrants heading to the Mexico-US border to enter the US before Trump taking office. The big influx of illegal immigrants to the US has been facilitated partly by the open-border policy of the Biden-Harris Administration and partly by the home-country governments’ lack of measures to discourage their out-migrants.

Justin Trudeau Wins Second Term As Prime Minister But As a Minority Government

Justin Trudeau has won a second term as Canada’s prime minister – but has lost his majority in parliament. His Liberal party had 157 seats in parliament – 13 short of the 170 needed for to be a majority.

This also means that Trudeau's party has lost 27 seats, considering the 184 seats in won in the 2015 election.  His popularity drops during the election campaign after photos of him in brownface and blackface during his years as a teacher emerged.

The Canadian vote came down to what was essentially a choice between Liberals’ Trudeau and the Conservatives’ Andrew Scheer.  Scheer’s party had secured an extra 26 seats, making it total in 121 seats in parliament.  Conservatives make real good progress but not strong enough to defeat Liberals.

Being a minority winner, Trudeau would have to rely on another small party in parliament, possible the left-wing New Democrats, to form government and pass future legislation.

Trudeau received an endorsement from former US president Barack Obama during the campaign.  After being updated with the results, on Twitter, Donald Trump congratulated Trudeau for his “wonderful and hard fought victory”, and wrote “I look forward to working with you toward the betterment of both of our countries,”.
