Trump to hit Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland with tariffs over Greenland

Donald Trump has announced tariffs on the UK and other European countries for their opposition to a US takeover of Greenland.

The US president posted on Truth Social on Saturday that a 10 per cent tariff on all goods sent to the US would be imposed from Feb 1 on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, before being increased to 25 per cent on June 1.

He accused the countries of creating a “very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet” after they sent a small contingent of troops to Greenland to help Denmark prepare military exercises.

A year after the LA fires: ‘You can’t just go back to being yourself’

There are three jars, sealed and placed in the courtyard of Lara and Jarad Fisher’s rented home in west Los Angeles. Inside each is rubble and ash, like specimens harvested from a faraway planet.

They are the family’s only remnants of their home after the Palisades fire, which tore through their neighbourhood on January 7 last year, killing 12 people and destroying 6,837 buildings.

Their eight-year-old daughter, Liv, did not want to return for many months, until she suggested collecting the ashes. “She wanted to go back to dig,” said her father, Jarad, 47.

Carney Broadcasting Corporation Salivates Over ChiCom EV’s


Chinese EVs are coming to Canada. How soon will they be here? How much will they cost?

Buckle up! The electric vehicle market in this country is about to take a sharp turn.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is reopening Canada to Chinese-made EVs, lowering a 100 per cent tariff on imports, imposed in 2024, back to six per cent.

There’s demand for more affordable and climate-conscious EVs and, for an average customer, having Chinese EVs in the market means “more choice” and “greater tech,” said Max Morris, sales manager at Shift Electric Vehicles in Burlington, Ont.

How much does slave labour contribute to the manufacture of China’s EV’s?

The manufacture of electric vehicles (EVs) in China involves complex global supply chains, and multiple investigations have documented links to forced labor, particularly involving Uyghur and other ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). While quantifying the exact “contribution” of forced labor is challenging due to opaque supply chains and lack of comprehensive data, reports from organizations like Human Rights Watch, Sheffield Hallam University, and others provide estimates based on production volumes, company exposures, and labor transfer programs. These indicate that forced labor risks permeate significant portions of key materials and components, especially aluminum, batteries, and related metals.

Oh Oh!

Iran supreme leader admits thousands killed during recent protests

Iran’s supreme leader has for the first time publicly acknowledged that thousands of people were killed, “some in an inhuman, savage manner”, during recent protests.

A violent response to the unrest has claimed 3,090 lives, according to US-based Iranian Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), with some activist groups putting the death toll far higher. An internet blackout has made it extremely difficult to get clear information.

In a speech on Saturday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said thousands had been killed and blamed the US for the deaths.

And the UK?

Trump Administration Begins Criminal Inquiry Into Minnesota Leaders

The Trump administration has opened a criminal investigation into elected Democrats in Minnesota, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter, a major escalation in the fight between the federal government and local officials over the aggressive immigration crackdown underway in the city.

The investigation would focus on allegations that Gov. Tim Walz and Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, had conspired to impede thousands of federal agents who have been sent to the city since last month. Last week, one of those agents killed a 37-year-old woman, Renee Good.

Jamie Sarkonak: This child-rapist, murderer always belonged in a men’s prison

In 2005, at the age of 17, Michael Williams participated in the torturous murder of 13-year-old Nina Courtepatte. He lured the girl from West Edmonton Mall to a golf course with four of his friends. A member of the group hit Courtepatte in the head with a wrench, knocking her to the ground; Williams and one of his companions then raped her as the others held her down. After further torture (including numerous cuts to the face), Williams and co. bludgeoned her in the head with a hammer until she died.

A China Deal That Trades Leverage for Illusion

Canada’s newly announced trade memorandum with China has been presented by the federal government as pragmatic statecraft in a turbulent world. Lower tariffs on canola and seafood in exchange for the entry of nearly 50,000 Chinese electric vehicles, we are told, will diversify exports, lower consumer prices, and signal Canada’s independence from American protectionism.

This framing is incomplete. More troublingly, it is strategically naive. Trade policy is not merely about price and volume. It is about leverage, reciprocity, industrial resilience, and alignment with trusted partners. On those measures, this agreement falls short.

Greenland may be our first, best, and last chance to stand up to Donald Trump

My first encounter with the Sirius Patrol came after I’d delivered a speech at a conference in Nuuk, Greenland, in 2019.

A young man wearing Danish military camouflage approached me. He was tall and lean, with a weather-beaten face and piercing blue eyes.

“You’re right about the Arctic being a dangerous place,” he said. “Last winter, I travelled by dog sled along the coast of northeastern Greenland.”
