The latest move to deepen Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine. And American values.
He continues to drive the knife deeper into the back of Ukraine. And NATO.
And make America less safe.

If the leaders of the other 3 "eyes" had a shred of intelligence or concern for their constituents, they'd dump Trump the minute he dumped Canada and transform his Five Eyes creature into a Cyclops.
A lot of the details in this NY Times story are previously reported but this part - this part! - is new.
It's either wild freelancing from an unconfirmed nominee; a vicious negotiating squeeze; or Canada is in severe peril with the threat coming from Washington.

An alternative to Pres Trump’s Ukraine strategy: insist that Ukraine joins NATO and Russia stays out in the cold, until Putin agrees to pull back from some conquered territory and promises never to invade Ukraine again. Have Trump & Hegseth given up their best cards already?

If the Chancellor is truly going for growth, she must reverse the jobs tax burdening small businesses and boost UK-EU trade.
It's time to renegotiate our relationship with Europe, with a bespoke UK-EU customs union at its heart.

The UK mustn’t let Donald Trump bully us or our ally Canada.
We need to work with our allies in Europe and around the world to stand up to him. The Prime Minister should invite Commonwealth leaders to London to discuss a joint response to Trump’s global trade war.
