Canadian Ad Featuring Reagan on Tariffs Sparks US–Canada Trade Fallout

A newly released advertisement in the United States by Ontario, Canada’s largest province, has triggered fresh diplomatic friction between Washington and Ottawa. The ad features former US President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs as an ineffective economic policy, sparking outrage from former President Donald Trump and deepening an already strained relationship between both nations. In a Truth Social post on Thursday night, Trump denounced the commercial as “fake,” citing statements from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation that described the footage as doctored. The former president accused the Canadian government of attempting to influence US courts through the ad’s release and announced an abrupt halt to trade discussions with Canada. “Based on their egregious behavior, all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated,” Trump wrote. The controversy adds to the growing tension between Washington and Ottawa following Trump’s tariff policies that had […]

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has called for transparency and mutual benefit in partnerships between Africa and global powers, particularly China. He said such relationships must promote shared prosperity and fairness.

US pushes plan to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza

United States Vice President JD Vance has emphasized the difficult task ahead in disarming Hamas and rebuilding Gaza. His remarks came during a visit to Israel on Wednesday as Washington worked to reassure its ally about the next steps in a new US-backed ceasefire plan. Vance met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the second day of his trip, which supports the American plan to end the fighting, secure the release of hostages, and rebuild Gaza. “We have a tough mission — to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza to ensure peace and security for Israel and a better future for the people of Gaza,” Vance said.

Afghanistan, Pakistan Agree to Ceasefire After Border Clashes

Afghanistan and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire, ending days of deadly fighting along their shared border that killed dozens and injured hundreds. The truce was mediated by Qatar and Turkey during talks held in Doha. Both nations have pledged to respect each other's sovereignty and refrain from hostile actions. A key part of the agreement is that Afghanistan will not support militant groups carrying out attacks against Pakistan. Both sides have also promised not to target each other's security forces, civilians, or critical infrastructure. Pakistan's Defense Minister confirmed the deal, stating that "cross-border terrorism from Afghan territory will cease immediately." The Taliban government in Afghanistan responded positively to the outcome. The two countries are scheduled to meet again in Istanbul on October 25th to discuss the details of the agreement further.

Iran Declares End to Nuclear Deal Restrictions

Iran announced on Saturday that it is no longer bound by restrictions on its nuclear programme, marking the official expiration of a landmark 10-year deal with world powers. Despite the move, Tehran reaffirmed its “commitment to diplomacy.” The 2015 nuclear accord, signed in Vienna by Iran, the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain, and Germany, had lifted international sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran’s nuclear activities. However, the agreement began to unravel after the United States withdrew under President Donald Trump in 2018, prompting Iran to roll back its commitments. The United Nations reinstated sanctions last month at the request of Britain, France, and Germany, effectively ending the deal. In a statement, Iran’s foreign ministry said, “All provisions of the deal, including restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme and related mechanisms, are now terminated.” It added that Iran remains committed […]

Trump Urges Zelensky to ‘Make a Deal’ After Missile Plea Fails

US President Donald Trump has urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “make a deal” with Russia, signaling a shift in Washington’s stance on the war in Ukraine. Zelensky met Trump at the White House on Friday, hoping to secure long-range US-made Tomahawk missiles. However, Trump declined to approve the request, saying both sides should instead end the fighting and reach an agreement. “The talks were very interesting and cordial,” Trump said on social media after the meeting. “But I told him, as I did President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing and make a deal. Let both claim victory, and let history decide.” Trump later told reporters that Ukraine and Russia should “stop right now at the battle line,” adding that pushing beyond current positions would “get too complicated.” Zelensky said Trump did not reject the missile […]

India Hosts Taliban Delegation in Historic Diplomatic Reset

More than four years after the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, which forced India to shut down its embassy in Kabul and evacuate diplomats amid the collapse of the Western-backed Afghan government, New Delhi has now extended a red-carpet welcome to the group’s leadership. A delegation led by Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has arrived in the Indian capital for a weeklong official visit, marking the first-ever visit by a Taliban leader to India. Muttaqi, who remains on a United Nations sanctions list, received a temporary travel exemption from the UN to attend the meetings. The visit represents a striking shift in India’s foreign policy. Analysts describe it as a strategic move of pragmatism — aimed at countering Pakistani influence in Afghanistan, as ties between Kabul and Islamabad have recently soured over cross-border tensions. Indian officials, while […]

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Sure I’ll Make Heaven’ While Reflecting on Peace Efforts

Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday while en route to Israel, Trump joked about his faith and legacy, saying, “I’m being a little cute, I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven. I think I’m maybe not heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.” His comment came in response to a reporter who reminded him of his earlier remarks suggesting that achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine could help […]
