The confirmation ended a day of escalating threats that started with Trump saying steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada will go up to 50 per cent in response to Ontario's threats.

U.S. President Donald Trump is making the race for critical minerals a key part of his agenda — and Canada's rich reserves are a prime target for his ambitions.

After the combative Oval Office meeting, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Zelenskyy 'can come back when he is ready for peace,' upending talks to ending the war in Ukraine.

Experts say getting Canada's defence spending to two per cent of GDP is not as simple as moving money around and will require multiple measures and years of planning.

Ambassador Kirsten Hillman says her private conversations in Washington remain focused on building Canada's relationship with the new Trump administration.

A Canadian national security advisor says the government's move to list drug cartels as terrorist entities will give law enforcement more tools to go after crime groups in Canada.

The demand further ramps up pressure on allies like Canada, which has long missed the spending target and doesn't plan to meet it for another seven years.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he “would like Trump’s team to be more truthful" after Trump suggested Ukraine “should have never started” the war.

Donald Trump used tariffs as part of his hardball approach to free trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico in 2018, and is being even more aggressive ahead of talks next year.

Canadian security officials say an "information operation" against Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland was traced to a popular WeChat news account linked to China.
