White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration wanted to revoke the citizenship of any Somali Americans convicted of fraud amid a large-scale welfare scandal engulfing Minnesota.
“It’s something the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State is currently looking at right now,” she said during an interview on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning.

‘Canada may get a call’: Expert says Gaza peace plan hinges on international force
As international attention turns to the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire, a Middle East security expert says the deal faces political and security obstacles – with Hamas’ refusal to disarm emerging as the main issue.
Speaking ahead of the planned meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, Thomas Warwick, a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative told CTV’s News Channel on Monday the talks are likely to narrow, but will not resolve major differences.
Netanyahu is expected to press Washington for broader freedom of action on several fronts including support against Iran’s rebuilding missile program, Hezbollah’s presence in Lebanon and Gaza itself, Warwick said.

Mexican police have seized a $40m (£30m) motorcycle collection believed to be owned by the former Olympian and alleged drug kingpin Ryan James Wedding.
Wedding, a snowboarder who represented his native Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics, is responsible for trafficking 60,000 kg of cocaine every year, according to the FBI.
The US department of justice has described the 44-year-old as the “largest distributor of cocaine in Canada” and on a par with the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar.

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is facing scrutiny after her assets appeared to skyrocket from only $1,000 to almost $30 million in just one year.
Two companies, both owned by her husband and listed on Omar’s most recent financial disclosure form, seemed to explode in value between 2023 and last year.
Rose Lake Capital LLC was valued between $5 million and $25 million in 2024, according to the document, filed in May.

If Canadians have ever felt like they had a handle on who goes to jail, when and why, and for how long, it’s tough to believe they do nowadays. Or if they think they do, chances are good they’re not too happy about it. Once you notice how many news stories there are about people who have been accused or convicted of violent crimes, and then gotten out on bail or parole, and then been latterly accused or convicted of further violent offences, it is quite difficult to un-notice it.
Russia, the US and Ukraine agree that a deal on ending almost four years of full-scale war is edging closer but, in the words of President Donald Trump, “one or two very thorny, very tough issues” remain.
Two of the trickiest issues in Washington’s 20-point plan involve territory and the fate of Europe’s biggest nuclear plant, which is currently occupied by Russia.
The Kremlin agrees with Trump that negotiations are “at a final stage”, and Zelensky’s next step is to meet European leaders in France on 6 January, but any one of the sticking points could jeopardise a deal.
The week that Donald Trump was elected I offered Justin Trudeau some free advice in this newspaper.
At that time, Trudeau was trailing Pierre Poilievre in the polls by 25 points and had been for two years, hanging onto power despite being so personally unpopular that he could not win support for anything.
I thought Canada needed a leader to calm the political waters by tacking hard to the centre, so that the country could respond to the Trump challenge in a unified way. I wrote that Trudeau had to do four things he wouldn’t want to do: get rid of the carbon tax, remove the emissions cap on Alberta oil, tighten immigration and increase military spending.
Canada’s supply management system for dairy, eggs, and poultry has become a political irritant, an economic lightning rod, and a recurring obstacle in our trade relationship with the United States.
For free-market conservatives, it is an obvious target: production quotas, price controls, and import restrictions offend basic principles of competition and consumer choice. For others, it is a necessary safeguard — one of the last policy tools ensuring Canada can feed itself in an increasingly unstable world.

A “pleasure-oriented” sex chatbot for Kenyan teenagers was developed using aid money from British taxpayers, The Telegraph can disclose.
The app was built as part of a £41m UK aid programme which aims to invest in “radical technology solutions” to issues in the developing world.
Sounds like Canada. @fancypants_s https://t.co/oV29u7KNpS
