Trump says US 'taking back' Panama Canal - but Panama's president has defiant message
Monday, 20 January 2025 Donald Trump has vowed to "take back" the Panama Canal, saying it was "foolishly" given to the Central American country by the US.
Donald Trump’s inaugural address as the 47th President of the United States has ignited widespread debate, with several claims fact-checked and criticized as misleading by AP. During his speech, Trump alleged that President Joe Biden had pardoned 33 murderers—a statement proven false, as Biden...
Russia claims it has captured the key town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16 months of brutal fighting. A verified video shows Russian soldiers raising their flag in the devastated ruins, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top military officials have called the claim “disinformation” and “propaganda.” Analysts warn the fall, if true, could allow Russia to edge closer to Kostiantynivka and disrupt Ukrainian logistics. Meanwhile, heavy fighting is reported near Pokrovsk, southwest of Chasiv Yar.
The town, once home to over 12,000 residents, now lies in ruins after months of Russian air raids and ground assaults. As battlefield conditions intensify, U.S. President Trump has warned of new sanctions against Moscow and its trade partners if a ceasefire isn't reached soon. With both sides trading claims and video evidence surfacing, Chasiv Yar may mark a new turning point in the eastern front of the war.

Cambodia welcomes the reduction of US tariffs from a threatened 36% to 19%, a move praised by Prime Minister Hun Manet as a major boost for the country’s economy. This tariff cut comes amid escalating tensions with Thailand, where deadly border clashes left over 40 people dead before a ceasefire was brokered with the help of US President Donald Trump. Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol expressed gratitude for Trump’s intervention in achieving peace and stabilizing the region. What does this mean for Cambodia’s trade future and regional stability? Watch the full breakdown.

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a global trade storm by raising tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, accusing Ottawa of failing to curb fentanyl and drug flows into America. Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canada’s efforts, but Trump claimed negotiations fell short. The new rate—up from 25%—comes amid broader tariffs hitting dozens of countries.
Despite the USMCA shielding nearly 90% of Canadian exports, key goods like dairy, wood, and leather may still be taxed. Trump spared Mexico for now but warned that other nations—including Taiwan, India, Laos, and even Switzerland—face harsh levies, some as high as 41%. Critics warn of soaring consumer prices and economic disruption, but the White House insists the tariffs are "rebuilding the greatest economy in history." With global trade talks in limbo and retaliations expected, this marks Trump’s boldest move yet in his battle to reset world commerce.

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin — but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia.
While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed “sanctions immunity,” Trump’s frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trump’s acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russia’s economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point.
