"Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on Tuesday that he was concerned about China shipping "cheap steel and cheap aluminum" that could "undermine" Canadian and U.S. jobs amid U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs threats.

Ford was at the Washington Conrad Hotel in Washington D.C. where he said he was "working the room" talking to American colleagues while trying to deal with the tariff threat.

"Everything is on the table," Ford said about potential retaliation to Trump's tariffs after the U.S. president announced 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum.

"Believe me, there will be retaliation," Ford said before adding "but that's the last thing we want." "

Former Google CEO is not so cocky anymore.

I thought India bought Su-57E.

I especially like the way they are looking through the binoculars.

"[...]Trump's comments have raised more concerns in South Korea, as cars and semiconductors take up more than 30 percent of the country's total exports to the United States.
S&P Global Ratings said in a report released in November, that a potential 20-percent tariff on imports from South Korea could cut Hyundai and Kia's earnings by up to 19 percent.
As for chips, experts say that the potential tariff hikes on chips are not likely to have a significant impact on Korean companies for the time being[...]."

"The multinational military exercise, code-named "AMAN 2025", has entered the second phase of maritime drills with naval resupply, joint anti-piracy operations, search and rescue, and air defense in full swing in Karachi, Pakistan."

Good.

Putin better be careful with Trump:

What the heck is she talking about? BRI is a copy of USAID?

Why BRI is not a copy of USAID and why the US is losing "its backyard" in 3 charts:

In a way Europeans right now are even worse than America. At least now American doesn't pretend to be good anymore and put its money where its mouth is at in wars.

Meanwhile all the european countries esp baltic states talk tough shit but back off when its time to ask who's paying.

Watching them act all entitled about America and then america says ok are you guys gonna pay me to do this then? They quickly shut up fast coz they suddenly realize europe isn't in a position to determine anything.

Watching these guys being forced to realize they aren't the big guys anymore is a joy to watch.

Knowing Canadians he's probably thinking Canada should flog itself regardless of pain in an order to prove its loyalty to America, e.g. cutting all trade with China.
